I have had a red and unhappy eye for several months. I have been seeing an ophthalmologist regularly. I have run thru most dx from conjunctivitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, ? of scarring disease(ruled out) etc. Also many meds, zylet, restasis, azasite, tobradex. Now currently off all meds, still the eye remains unhappy. I am a nurse in a cath lab in the DFW area in Texas. One of the cardiologists I work with mentioned the possibility of iritis &/or some sort of autoimmune disorder, so I visited my PCP and had everal of the autoimmune tests performed, ANA, C reactive protein, ESR, RF, Latex etc. These results are pending. I have no other symptom other than the unhappy eye. This happened last year to my eye as well, took about 6 months and several meds, but finally cleared up after being on Tobradex for about 1 1/2 weeks. Unfortunately, my eye pressure went to 30 with Tobradex and my eye MD will not put me back on this med....I am assuming that if iritis was the problem, that would have been a pretty easy find for the ophthalmologist, he has not suggested this as a diagnosis. I am sort of grasping at straws here...any suggestions, should I see another eye MD just to get another set of eyes on the problem? My vision is fairly unaffected at this point, only occasional blurriness that clears with frequent blinking (probably tearing issue per MD), some burning sensation and swelling of the eye. I am tired of it looking so crappy and just not being "normal". Kind of shallow I know, but oh well, it's annoying as heck. I am attaching a picture just to see what you think.
