Hello
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with giant papillary conjunctivitis.
The treatment is by use of steroid eye drops and anti allergic eye drops.
The treatment is correct and it usually takes about 1-3 months to respond.
But use of steroid rye drop should be done only when the condition is severe and not responding to treatment by use of anti allergic drugs.
Thank you
