Suggest Treatment For Chronic Eye Infection
My wife has a chronic eye infection. Allergies do not seem to be the cause. High quality eye doctors have not been able to relieve the drainage, the redness or the pain that she is enduring. Can this be so rare that ophthalmologists cannot recognize it to treat it. This has been going on for several months.
