eye ointment

Medicated vision cream

Eye ointment is a medicated cream or gel applied directly to the eye or inner eyelid, typically to treat infections, inflammation, or dryness.

Unlike eye drops, ointments are thicker and provide longer-lasting contact with the eye surface, though they temporarily blur vision: Apply the eye ointment before bed so it can work overnight.
