After that I visited to another doctor and she started Lpred, Tacrosight and oflomxycin but same problem here, as soon as I stopped this spots come again. As of now doctor started Flarex and Eubri with Acivir ointment. Please suggest me what to do. How much time it will take to completely these spots go away, what are the consequences in longer term ..

Though the line of treatment is ok . But If by reducing the frequency of steroids,the reoccurence occurs then you may try talimus cream twice daily in a very small quantity.

Hello Nummular keratitis or the spots on cornea after conjunctivitis , is a chronic problem n may need treatment for 3-6 months based on the severity. Continue flarex eyedrops and eubri  eyedrops and add cyclomune 0.05% as follows Flarex eyedrops 4 times a day for 7 days then twice daily for 7 days then once daily for 7 days then stop. Cyclomune 0.05% 4 times a day for a month then 3 times a day for month n then twice a day for month along with eubri 3 times a day for 3 months. Start all the drops but each one of them 5 mins apart. Please meet up with an ophthamologist(cornea specialist) every 2-3 weeks to look for IOP and healing of spots,dose needs to be adjusted accordingly and tapered very slowly . Abruptly stopping the meds will cause recurrence.
