Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are diagnosed with inflammation of the eye and you are on treatment with steroid eye drops in the form of prednisolone and the inflammation is still persisting even after 2 weeks.
These symptoms probably indicate presence of inflammation of the eye like uveitis or scleritis or episcleritis of the eye. The treatment of this condition is by use of steroids and these have to be tapered and this may take 3-6 weeks for complete cure depending on the severity of the condition. Use of anti-inflammatory drugs along with the steroids will help in early resolution of the symptoms.
Please send me more details regarding the eye condition like
Diagnosis made by your doctor
Presence of other symptoms like pain, watering, discharge, diminution of vision
If possible do send a photo of the affected eye
Please send these details so that I can answer your question more accurately.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
