Antibiotics for eyes, to stop or not?

2018-08-06 14:46:44
I was given antibiotic drops (Milflodex) for eyes by an ophthalmologist and told to take it 4 Times a day for 15 days. My eyes have become normal after 2-3 days itself. Should I stop the drops? Attached a picture of my eye which was red before taking drops, but looks normal now.

The picture only is not sufficient to decide whether to stop or continue the medicine. So please consult your ophthalmologist. However Steroids should not be used for a loner time if not necessary. And your doctor will decide whether it is necessary for you or not.
