1. although Chloramphenicol have side effects, like [peripheral/optic neuritis, visual impairment, blindness] but because your Doctor/Ophthalmologist must have weighed benefits over probable side effects, thus have faith in him for further management and prognosis.

2. You can use ISOTINE eye drops [Jagat pharma] 2 drops thrice a day as adjuvant to the currently prescribed medicine.
