Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent redness of eyes.
Since this redness is responding to steroid eye drops this can be because of inflammation of the eyes.
The common causes are episcleritis, uveitis, scleritis....
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
