Have used Sulfamethox., Ocuflox, Cipro and Erythromycin oint alternately and continuously. How can I get rid of it? Is my vision in danger?

Hi
How could you know it is staph follicular is ?
Did you go for conjunctival swab culture ?
Any how in such a situation , one should use moxifloxacin eye drops 6 times a day with Lubricating eye drops and one anti histaminic pill a day.
Usually vision is not in danger but earliest recovery is desired.
No rubbing of eyes.No eye cosmetics plz
