I found it! It's gonorrhea...
Explanation:
Take a look at this...

Eye drops or ointment containing an antibiotic medication are placed in a newborn’s eyes after birth. This is required by law to protect the baby from an unknown gonorrhea infection in the mother’s body. Antibiotics are used in most hospitals. Another preparation, called silver nitrate, is sometimes used.

I remember a teacher at school who told us that they use that on baby's eyes as soon as they are born in case the mother suffer an STD, but I can't remember exactly what disease it was, I'm researching though.

I hope this helps...

nitrato de plata


Explanation:
Estoy de acuerdo con las explicaciones anteriores. La traducción es nitrato de plata. Ag es el símbolo de la plata y NO3 es nitrato.

Te envío una webbie:

"Conjuntivitis es la inflamación del tejido (conjuntiva) que cubre la parte blanca del ojo y el interior de los párpados. Durante el primer y segundo día de vida, esta inflamación puede estar causada por la medicación (como nitrato de plata) que se pone en los ojos después del parto para prevenir las infecciones."

Un saludo :-)
