1.Chemical conjunctivitis ; within 12 hours of instilling the drops and resolves within 48 hours

2. G onorrheal conjunctivitis 2~5 days after birth ; infants given prophylactic drops SHOULD not develop.

3. Chlamydial(inclusion) conjunctivitis : 5~14 days after birth

prophylactic eye drops do not effectively prevent this.

hm. G is between 2C's
