Brief Answer: Main line of treatment is absent Detailed Answer: Hello ma'am and welcome. Thank you for writing to us. Firstly, once you were diagnosed with the infection, were you prescribed any antibiotics or anti-viral medication to treat the infection? As mentioned by you, you have only been prescribed a steroid (wysolone) to help reduce the inflammation in the eye (which may be causing the symptom of blurred vision), but your doctor has not addressed the infection. The rantac is just an antacid that will prevent the wysolone from irritating your stomach. Treating the symptoms will not help, as the symptoms will only be present as long as the infection is present; so it is better to treat the infection, rather than the symptoms. Treatment of eye infections usually includes the following: -Antibiotic or anti-viral medication (depending on the source of the infection being bacterial or viral) -Anti-inflammatory eye drops -Antacids to help avoid gastric irritation -Lubrication -Antipryretics (to treat the fever if present) -Pain management medication (only if the eye pain is too strong) As you can see, the main line of treatment has not been prescribed ma'am. Although wysolone will surely help, I do not think this is the real solution to your problem. I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help. Best wishes.

Brief Answer: Suspected diagnosis: Viral conjunctivitis Detailed Answer: Hello once again ma'am. Thank you for the additional information. Your diagnosis is more clear thanks tk the information provided. Viral conjunctivitis is usually accompanied by a viral infection. This infection requires treatment with the following: -Anti-viral medication (the specific antibiotic will be prescribed based on the specific infection-causing virus) -Topical steroid -Antibiotics if required (to protect from secondary infections) So, as I had mentioned earlier, your treatment regimen is incomplete, and you will have to report to your doctor requesting for addtion of the first-line of treatment (i.e. the antiviral). There are no alternate measures as such, except for improved hygiene (wash your hands regularly, do not rub your eyes, etc.). The main treatment will be the antiviral medication. Hope this information helps you ma'am. Best wishes.
