Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello,
It seems from the history that you are having allergic conjunctivitiis or blepharitis.
The treatment for both these conditions is usually required for comparitively long time.
Hence I advice you to continue treatment till all the symptoms are reduced as per the advice of your ophthalmologist.
Thank you

Hi..
Thanks for the query..
Both the drops you are using are anti bacterial.
You might be having an allergic conjunctivitis..
You can start using anti allergic eye drops like olopatadine and if required low strength steroids also..
IN the meanwhile you can use lubricating eye drops for relief..
Consult your treating doctor and start treatment with is advice..
Hope this information helps.. Take care..
