Hello,your eye condition needs to be diagnosed well, please see a cornea specialist. Too many eye drops especially steroids for a long term can be harmful too. A good examination with diagnosis is vital for treating appropriately.

Whatever problem causing PK in your eyes have to be treated. You may have severe dry eye or chronic allergic conjunctivitis or some other ocular surface disorder. We cannot decide the treatment till we arrive at a diagnosis. If the problem is really serious, you should consider taking another opinion. If still not satisfied, then you should consider a trip to Hyderabad (LV Prasad Eye Instiute) or Chennai (Sankara nethralaya) for getting an opinion of a cornea specialist. People from all over the country are referred to these hospitals as they are among the best in India.
