Hi, I had eye infection started around two months ago. When I was driving bike, suddenly my right eye became red which was already suffering from dry eyes (both eyes). One day later, water started coming from my right eye. When I went to doctor he prescribed moxofloxacin, but I got no relief. 2 days later, I again went to same doctor, he diagnosised me with keretits+ conjectivitis with few mild spots on cornea. On 7th day, I started facing blurry vision and went to another doctor. Je prescribed moxofloxacin + loteprednol (0.5% each) and an artificial tear. But still my bluriness was increasing. One week later, my vision became totally blurr at morning (6/36), which was slightly improving at evening. After checking, doctor found too many small dots on cornea and prescribed dexamethasone 0.1% + moxofloxacin 0.5% and continued artificial tears along with with. I got near to normal vision witthin one month. But the infection came back after 2-3 weeks. Why this happened?

This could be because of incomplete topical treatment or suddenly halting the steroid drops prescribed earlier. If the infection does not settle or respond to antibiotics, or if an ulcer develops it is important to take a corneal scrape for culture sensitivity before switching medications.
Next Steps
Avoid rubbing your eyes and frequently wash your hands, meet with the nearest ophthalmologist and explain the history in detail before examination.
