Vigamox reaction

hy, 2 weeks ago i had cxl treatment for keratoconus. my doctor prescribed me to use vigamox and tobradax 4 times a day for 5 days and after flu she prescribed me to take these drops for 1 week. everything was going good and my vision was start improving but after 4 days when i use vigamox drop i faced immediate reaction casing radness, swelling and blurriness in my eye so i visit my doctor next day and she told me to stop taking vigamox and continue using tobradax and gentreal 3 times a day for one month. i told her about loss of visibility after reaction but she said no it is fine but i am not satisfied because before reaction my vision was inproving and now it is more blurred and cloudy.
my question is is there anything i should worry about
and how long does this reaction effect last.?
thanks..

thank you for your concern,
i told my doctor about this, she said it is ok and blurry and cloudy vision last for months after cxl treatment.
one more thing that my treated eye is now bigger then my second eye after the treatment which is easily noticeable.

It is unusual for patients to be allergic to Vigamox but does happen on occasion.  Should not have any lasting effects past a few days.  If your vision is blurry, ask the doctor if your cornea is clear and doing ok.
