How Effective Is Besix Eye Drops For Conjunctivitis?
I had conjunctivitis approx. 10 days back and was suggested Besix eye drops. I have been applying drops for 8-10 times daily after that. Now my eye situation has improved a bit but I still have irritation, photo sensitivity and blurred vision. Please suggest my next step.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having conjunctivitis for the last 10 days and on treatment with besix eye drops. Besix is an antiinfective drugs with action against the bacteria.
Hence you can continue the eye drops. Since you have mentioned that you are having symptoms like irritation, photophobia and blurred vision.. all these indicate involvement of cornea and this requires treatment by artificial tears and sometimes steroids but under strict supervision of ophthalmologist. Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
