Hello,
It seems from the history that you are suffering from adeno viral conjunctivitis. It seems that the conjunctivitis has become complicated by involvement of cornea resulting in adenoviral keratitis.
Adenoviral keratitis is known to cause blurring of vision because of keratitis. The treatment is by low potent steroids like flurometholone or FML, the eye drops which you are using now.
The treatment is usually required for 2-3 months and the drugs have to be tapered slowly over a period of 2-3 months. Along with FML you can use artificial eye drops for symptomatic relief.

Thank you
