Talk to experienced eye specialist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
initially to control the symtoms I would prefer to put you on pred forte eye drops for 1 week to 10 days. Once controlled, you can switch to cromal forte which is a preventative medicine. it prevent the allergy reaction from occurring in the first place. this can be safely used in long term while tapering the steroids.
cyclosporin I usually reserve for very severe allergic conjunctivitis.
Since you have been on steroid eye drops for 1 month I would advise you to get your intraocular pressure checked to see if there is any rise.
