Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you had eye lid surgery and you are using sofradex ointment following surgery.
Sofradex is a antibiotic with steroid and it is used following surgeries to treat inflammation induced by surgery and to prevent infection.
Since it is almost two weeks since you had surgery you can stop this if the wound has healed completely.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
