Wonder why it’s not going away with medication? Maybe consider seeking a second opinion?

I have seen an opthalmologist thus the medication. Salve and eyedrops.

Those bad cells have a habit of attacking those areas of the body which may be weak or have a potential problem? This means the immune system is not working properly. We have to watch our health to avoid possible problems in our body that can affect our health.

Sandy, yes, I feel your pain. I have infections about 2-3 times a year, mostly in one eye. So far antibiotic drops do the trick. I also use Refresh drops 2-3x a day for moisture. I no longer wear eye makeup, just some eyebrow pencil. Also if my eyes are itchy, I try to use a clean tissue to wipe them. I’m glad you are seeing an ophthalmologist. I hope you start feeling better soon. 🙏

Hi Sandy. Have you seen an ophthalmologist for the infection?
