Brolene

Drops or ointment?

Both Brolene products contain the antiseptic dibrompropamidine for minor eye and eyelid infections. Drops are convenient for daytime and don't blur vision, while the ointment lasts longer and is handy at night (though it briefly blurs vision). Brolene is similar to other antiseptic eye products such as Golden Eye; the choice comes down to format and preference.
