What kind of corneal dystrophy do you have?  It seems like your doctors are doing everything correctly.  Unfortunately, your symptoms are sometimes hard to get rid of with corneal dystrophy of some types.  Make sure you are seeing a cornea specialist.  Other than what they are giving you I don't know of anything else that may help.
