For two months now, I've been being treated for an eye infection (both eyes). It was initially thought to be allergies, but the Patanol did not help. Opthamologist then prescribed tobradex, which worked until I came off it. We then moved to longer tobradex usage that tapered over two weeks. Came back again once I came off. Then moved to oral antibiotic for one week and zylet - no results. Now oral antibiotic for two weeks - no results.
My symptoms include an intermittent and mild burning sensation, blood shot eyes, excessive watering and some crusting from the watering over night. But nothing like pink eye crusting. My eyes are the worst when I first wake up.
I think the next step with my opthamologist will be to get a culture taken.
Any thoughts?
