Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having damage to the eye because of scratching.
This requires use of antibiotic eye drops and antiinflammatory drugs.
If the cornea is involved as indicated by pain, blurred vision you need to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
