Conjunctivitis
I have white lymph at the edge of iris on one of the eyes and red eyes. I consulted a doctor and he told it's viral conjunctivitis. I used carboxymethylcellulose eye drops and Moxifloxacim with Dexamethasone phosphate eye drops. I used them for 5 and stopped as my eye got better. It's been 1 month but still that white lymph is present around at the edge of iris. Even though redness is reduced, I still feel discomfort in the eye. What should I do now?
