What Is The Permanent Solution For Redness And Soreness At Corner Of Eye?

I have redness and soreness at the corner of my eyes and the only thing that helps is a low dose steroid ointment the doctor gave me but if I miss one night of using it the redness and soreness comes back. No one can tell me what it is and I m worried about using the ointment too long.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness and soreness at the corner of the eyes. This is because of blepharoconjunctivitis or because of angular conjunctivitis.
Both these conditions are chronic conditions and the treatment is by use of antibiotics along with low dose of steroid eye ointments.
However the underlying conditions need to be evaluated to prevent further recurrences.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
