Eye Inflammation?

[bluee101]

I'm a 22 y.o. w/f and about 3 weeks ago my left eye felt like I had something in it, like an eyelash or something. I went to the eye doctor and he said it might be viral but, the anti-biotic he prescribed didn't help. My left eye seems inflamed in the corner and my right eye seems kind of pinkish like their is a veil over it but, not near the cornea. The DR. prescribed for me to take Omnipred but so far it doesn't seem like it is helping. I'm starting to get nervous, should I be worried?

My vision is fine. The first doctor said it was viral and gave me Vigamox and I took that and it didn't seem to help. what bad side effects do steroid drops have? The second DR. prescribed me the steroid. I have an appointment as a follow up a week from now.

I am most worried about your vision.  If you have any loss of vision you need to be seen right away for a recheck with an ophthalmologist.  Other than that - your description is just to vague for me to give you much more advice.  It does sound like you are having a significant problem that warrants a closer second look - especially if you are on steroid drops - which have possible bad side effects - and can make some problems worse.
I think it would be wise to get rechecked asap.
