Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Dear chaitu,Hi,The redness in your conjuctival fornices may be due to lot of reasons like conjuctivitis(bacterial,viral, allergic),exposure keratopathy,episcleritis,blepheritis etc.Since your dose of AB drop is over and the signs and symptoms have reappeared you need to be evaluated properly to rule out the above causes.Allergic conjunctivitis need antiallergic drugs,episcleritis needs NSAID and steroids,blepheritis requires oral doxy and scrubbing along with antibiotics,exposure keratopathy may require taping, lubricants .I believe you got to be reevaluated once more even to rule out meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye syndrome .Go to your ophthalmologist and discuss your problem.He ll help you out .TC...dr Ajay Shankar Kar
