Brief Answer:
You have to have an eye exam done by an ophthalmologist

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for your question. You have to get an eye examination done by an ophthalmologist dear . Post pink eye cornea aka the clear part of the eye can be involved by a number of lesions which can persist for some time and need treatment in form of eye drops . They are called subepithelial deposits . Besides that you should also get your refraction done and retina checked. Only then we can arrive at a diagnosis . Hope my answer helps you. Regards
