Question: I have seen a ophthalmologist four times now I've been on three different kind of antibiotic eyedrops I am now on pen VK oral antibiotic my eyes are still red watering stings burns I wake up with crusty eyes in the morning Even if I take a short nap I wake up with them Crusty .they hurt when they're open they hurt when they're closed. could my doctor be missing something? 32 days seems like a long time to have an eye infection .

Thank you for your answer. This is pretty much what the doctor said to me also. I just never heard of a virus in someone's eyes before after having an eye infection. My question is then is should I still take the pen VK oral being that I have a virus. Is there anything I can put in my eyes to relieve the discomfort. How would I get a virus in my eyes and can a virus cause damage to my eyes? Is this contagious to anyone else can people in my family catch the virus from me. It went from an eye infection to a virus she said. I have been to my opthmologist four times so I was just looking for a second opinion I have never had this before. I got my I infection from my grandson who had strep infection in his eye his ophthalmologist said he got it from when he had strep throat and it went into his eyes everyone in the family got it also but there's all went away after their antibiotic treatment I am the only one Who still has a problem with their eyes. So basically I understand the infection part I just would like to have more information about the virus what caused it how long that's the will last is it contagious will it damage my eyes and what can I do for the discomfort thank you.
