Hello A. These appear due to immune mediated response against viral antigens B. You may try soft steroid like fluorometholone eyedrop in slow tapering doses along with lubricating eyedrop frequently like refresh tears under guidance of ophthalmologist You can also add cyclosporine eyedrop twice daily for 6 months I hope this will help you Regards

Conjunctivitis does not cause corneal opacity, please share your photos it may be due to viral punctate keratitis.
