Eye ointment. Newborn baby who has had chloramphenicol eye ointment applied. This antibiotic is usually used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis, where a bacterial infection has caused inflammation of the conjunctiva, the outer eye membrane. This baby boy is being cared for in a hospital at a special care baby unit (SCBU). Special care baby units are for newborn babies that need a certain level of care, but not as much as those needing intensive care. This may be due to early birth, or while recovering from surgery. Photographed in the UK.
