General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As steroids are already being prescribed, better guidelines over that would be:
- Regular thorough eye splashing with cold water
- Wearing protective glasses
- Avoidance of exposure to pollen, dust etc
- Local application of antibiotic drops as moxifloxacin or else as per the decision of your ophthalmologist
- Control of blood sugar to prevent secondary infection or further damage
- Addition of anti inflammatory medicine as serratiopeptidase or else for faster resolution

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
