Eye redness, alternates between eyes

2017-02-18 17:21:00
I have eye redness which generally alternates between each eyes. No itching or burning sensation. Sometimes I feel a very mild pain in back of the red eye. Age 23. Was diagnosed with allergic conj , mgd, rosacea keratitis and now recently the same doctor diagnosed it as nodular episcleritis(there is a nodule near cornea). I dont have photophobia as such. Also had an allergy test a few days back and tested positive for cockroach allergy but i doubt it is allergy as normally its only one eye red and almost no itching and watering at all. no joint pain but i do have bloating and stomach discomfort and itching on both sides of abdomen lately.

You have already gone through all investigation needed for nodular episcleritis, & recurrences is very common ,I think you have already taken nevanac eye drops & corticosteroid eye drops & indomethacin orally .You should ask consulting doctor to check up mountex test for tuberculosis & if highly positive ,then with advice of physician you may try anti tuberculous drugs because I  have seen this type of response in my patients in my practice, with regards
