Why is the inflammation still present in my eye
I developed conjunctivitis a week ago - they prescribed me with a antibiotic ointment which mainly got rid of the eye infection except there’s a small area in the conjunctiva that still has some inflammation, I then was to steroid drops three times a day and ointment at night, I have not seen any improvement, should I continue with the same treatment? Any advice is very appreciated, I’m tired of wearing glasses.
That is not the type of question we can answer on this forum. Your last sentence suggests to me you wear contact lens. that is by far the most common reason for persistent redness and irritation in the eye. So if you do wear contacts the problem is more likely related to them than any super strong eye infection.
