Posted on Thu, 16 Apr 2015
Question: Hi Doc,

My eyes are dry and at all the time my eyelid stuck to my eyeball. It is uneasiness to close and open the eyes.
During a day they are bad and it irritates me and sometimes very sensitivity to bright light. Went to two eye specialist doctors and they both said it is Dry eye & Allergic infection , so I need to apply eye drops and ointment for a week (???).
But the problem still exist, I do not see any change in the result. Below is the prescribed medicine for the eye problem…

Frist Doctor prescribed the medicine:

1. Moxtif-k eye drops apply 3 times a day
2. ECO tears – apply 3 times a day

Second Doctor prescribed the medicine:

1. ASRUGEN eye drops : apply 2 times in a day
2. Oflacin-DX eye drops: apply 2 times in a day
3. Ocupol-D ointment : apply only in night

Third Doctor (from healthcare magic Specialist- Dr. DADAPEER K ) prescribed the medicine

1. Artificial tears like Asrugen eye drops 4-6 times per day.
2. Olopatadine eye drops two times per day.
3. Oflacin Dx eye drops two times per day for one week only.
4. Ocupol D eye ointment one time per day in night for one week only.


So I have no help from doctors, you are my only hope.

Thanks.

Regards

Brief Answer:
This is keratoconjunctivitis and it requires time to resolve.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history and the previous question you had asked to me on Health care magic.

You are probably having keratoconjunctivitis because of pink eye. This occurs because of viral infections.
This takes a long course before resolving.
Hence no need to be worried as treatment is in right direction and you will be fine.

Please send me a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you accurately.
Please mention the eye drops you are currently using so that I can modify them.

Hope this answers your question.

Thank you
With regards
