Blurred vision on the left eye
I had blurred vision on the left eye after getting hurt by the shuttle cock while playing badminton. I consulted an ophthalmologist. He said the vision is fine and prescribed NEVANAC and PRED FORTE eye drops for a month. I still have slight blurry vision on the left eye. Not sure whether it happened after getting hurt or it was there even before. Would like to know whether I can use REFRESH drops two or three times a day. Thanks.

The blurring in your left eye may be related to the badminton injury, but it is also possible that an underlying eye condition was present before the injury and became noticeable afterward. Since your symptoms are persisting despite treatment, it would be important to determine the exact cause rather than assuming it is due to dryness alone.
Next Steps
Schedule a comprehensive eye examination with an ophthalmologist if the blur has not completely resolved. Have your visual acuity, eye pressure, cornea, lens, retina, and macula examined. If not already performed, a dilated retinal examination may be required to rule out any retinal injury from the trauma. Continue NEVANAC and PRED FORTE only as advised by your treating ophthalmologist and do not extend steroid use without review. Seek urgent evaluation if you notice worsening vision, flashes of light, new floaters, eye pain, redness, or a curtain-like shadow in your vision.
Health Tips
You may use lubricating eye drops such as Refresh for symptomatic relief if your ophthalmologist has not advised otherwise. However, artificial tears will help only if dryness is contributing to the blur; they will not treat other causes such as retinal, corneal, or lens-related problems. Persistent blurring after an eye injury warrants a follow-up examination to establish the exact diagnosis and ensure no significant damage has been missed.

As you got hit by the shuttlecock it causes the inflammation into the eye. To minimise this inflammation we need steroidal drop i.e predfort, to settle down the inflammation it will require some days , don’t worry you will be fine soon
Next Steps
Continue the same treatment
