Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello,
It seems from the history that you are having blurred vision associated with red eyes, soreness and itching.

All these indicate infection of the eyes like keratoconjunctivitis. Since you have already used artificial tears and antibiotic eye drops without much response. The next treatment should be use of antiinflammatory eye drops and steroid eye drops. However the use of steroid eye drops should be under strict supervision of ophthalmologist after ruling out infection.

Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for further evaluation and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
