Hi and welcome to HCM!

Thanks for posting your query here.

The feel of the fly in your eye could be its sting or some of its body parts like wing. If it is so there will be continuous watering from the eye along with redness. Its already 2 weeks past. Hence the chance of a foreign body in the eye will be very less.

You can continue with antibiotic eye drops. If still the feeling persists you can consult an ophthalmologist/ eye doc who will examine the eye with a slit lamp microscope. If any retained particle is there in the cornea- the black of the eye, he will remove it.

Hope this helps to you

Regards

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

There is no alternative to seeing an eye doctor.
A foreign body or infection may be responsible...
Even after it is gone, the sensation may persist till the injury heals...
Only an examination can differentiate!

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
