Left Eye Blurry Vision Problem

[erik8mhp]

One morning when I woke up, I realized my left eye was full of **** and become pink eye. The next day, I went to see ophthalmologist and he said I got conjunctivitis. He prescribed an ointment called oftalmolosa cusi de icol. When the first two days started treatment, my mom helped me apply ointment. My left eye non-stop dropped tears and then I use tissue to wipe from time to time. On the third day, I applied ointment myself. I realized my right eye started to become pink eye. On the fourth day when I woke up, my left eye totally couldn't open and then able to open after a while. After I closed my left eye for a long time, my left eyelid was stick together and it dropped tears after I opened my left eye. Later I found out my left eye felt pain when seeing light. The next day I went back to see him and he said I required to have others to help me apply ointment and not apply myself. He said the way I applied ointment was wrong. Also, he said my left pupil was damaged and then he said I need to continue to apply ointment until three to four weeks to be recovered. After that, he used eye drops to clean my left eye and then he used cotton stick to dig out a thing. Now my left eye can see light but blurry vision. Is it really need to wait three to four weeks to be able to see clearly?

Two days before,I went to see another ophthalmologist and he said my cornea had been damaged a little bit by virus. He gave me a new ointment called TobraDex. He asked me to come back the next two days for eye check. When the day came and I went to see him again, my left eye vision was little blur and better than last time. He told me to apply for another week.

Your eye, your call. I'm just saying the treatment seems unusual

Are you sure you want me to see another ophthalmologist? I think it will make me not trust my current ophthalmologist's specialty if I do that. It is my pupil If I not mistaken. Can it be fixed?

Hopefully you have access to another ophthalmologist. If so I would recommend getting a second opinion. I looked it up on the internet and that ointment has antibiotic chloramphenicol in it. You should not have to be on that for 3-4 weeks to clear up an eye infection. If you live in Spain it may also have a steroid in it.

I doubt your pupil (which is the black spot in the center of the iris) is damaged. Perhaps your cornea?

In any case I'm hoping you have more than one choice in ophthalmologist.
