specialist can not find problem

         My  distant   vision started looking blurred out of my right eye.I went to my retina specialist whom had laser a retinal tear 18 months earlier.He said all looked fine,after a lot of test and pictures. The only thing he said was I had a few small hard drusens in that eye which had not change in 4 years, he did not think they were the problem.,He sent me to the doctor who did my glasses to check my prescription, he said it was right.They then did a optical coherence tomography which was normal. Bottom line they gave me dry eye drops to use which has not helped after 2 weeks using. What would you check  next, could it be infammation,that eye feels it is swelling at times, PLEASE HELP

If your problem is dry eyes, OTC drops may not work.  In your place, I'd follow Dr. O's suggestion about getting a complete exam from another ophthalmologist.

A little more details would be helpful.  What is your vision? your age? your refraction?

Get another opinion from an EyeMD who can look at your complete visual system.

If your problem is dry eyes, it can take prescription drops (Restasis) several weeks to work.
