Allergy Problem

I had some pain and redness in my eyes on 2nd sep, I want to my opthomologist and they recommended Gatilox Plus ( Gatloxacin..) on 7th sep my eyes started burning and some glare effect, so my opthomoligst told me to stop, after 2 days i feel some blrry drop and eye lid swelling and burning sensation in sun light ,I thought it still will be eye drop effect and did not taken it seriously, On 13th sep i visited eye hospital and they told i have conjuctiviitis, between these six days my eyes were very dry and burning. from 13th sep to 5th oct i used tobaflam, artificial tear and lacrigel and conjustvtis is resolved but my vision was still some cloudy, then my optomoligist examine my eyes after dilution and it was ok, even for dilution it taken a lot of drop amount. after that i had 2 incidence of cornea abrasion, i feel some reflection from eye lid and have ghost images, my doctor tested me for keratoconus and did not find anything like that and told it is just dry eyes, from last 4 month i am using all type of lubricant gel drops, hot water compression, cyclosporine , omega 3 fatty acid capsules, and it is not much improving, my left eye almost not generating any tears and sometimes i don't feel much sensation in left eye cornea. and also feel ghost images.
is it possible that due to allergy my cornea had some nerve damaged, due to which tear production is not happening or something gone wrong with my eye lid, is it possible that all the gland holes are pemanant closed due to the drop burning , i feel ghost images due to changes in my cornea or due to some eye lid issue.

Your problem could be due to severe dry eyes but that's unusual in a male, most severe dry eyes are females. Could be due to other diseases of the cornea. I don't think I can add anything else from the history you posted.

You can of course get a second opinion from a different eye hospital or consultant.
