Worried about my eyes
Hi. Forgive me my english, I'm not a native speaker.
I'm experiencing strange eyes problems since about two months. It all started after two weeks of daily using "Betadrin" eyedrops (Ophthalmic; Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride 0.1%; Naphazoline Nitrate 0.033%) My eyes became red like hell day after my last usage of the drops. They were itching and tearing like crazy for a couple of hours, the next day all came back to normal. Day after that, a strong sinus infection occured, but i dealt with it due to anti-biotics. I was healthy within two weeks, but since then I'm dealing with few vision problems.
Light sources begin to stretch when I minimally squint my eyes. This is most annoying. I see it while blinking as well. Also, I see rays of light coming from small light sources (like tv activity light) without squinting my eyes. I'm experiencing many eye floaters as well. It also seems like I'm having a hard time trying to focus my sight on some spot. I'm not sure about that one, it's like I see an object clearly and stable, but i have to constantly "refocus" my eyes to do so. There is always some purulence in the inner corners of my eyes, but i have to open them wide to see it. I have visited two eye doctors. One of them found "hard druses" in my both eyes (no floaters, but I see them!) and told me that I have a very small astigmatism. I've always knew that but I'm sure I never had such troubles with eyes before using Betadrin. He also told me it would be good for me to wear glasses. He prescripted me some eyedrops and basically he was unable to help me or tell me more. The second oculist also performed fundoscopic examination, and amazingly he didn't find nothing at all! No druses, no floaters.. He told me my eyes are 100% healthy and that I don't really need glasses because of the small scale of my astigmatism. I'm planning to visit another doctor, but I'm starting to freak out.. It's not getting any better. Doctors say that these Betadrin drops have nothing to do with my symptoms. Perhaps someone know what might be going on? Thank you!

Thank you. One last question please.. Is it possible that these eyedrops are the cause?
