Hi,
Your eye problem is due to the highlighting of your hairs. It's an allergic action. Not likely to respond to ciprofloxacin (an antibacterial agent).
You should continue with steroid drops &can accompany it with Cetirizine (a. anti-allergic medicine). You need to co tinie it till the allergic effect of the highlighting agent goes.
Can consult an eye doctor/physician for expert advise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
