Steroid Eye Drop and Red Eyes in Morning
My eyes are getting red in the morning only. In 15 minutes it becomes normal. since 20 days and my doctor gave me steroid eye drop for 3-4 days (,only 1 drop in a day) and artificial tear drop and Astaleaf tablet. After 3-4days he asked to stop using steroid drop. Post that for 7 days I used only artificial tear and Astaleaf tablet. Since there was no improvement, I consulted second opthalmist and he again gave artificial tear, LOT steroid eye drop (3-2-1 drops for each 5 days ..total 15 days) and Eye fit tablet. My OCT is in normal range. Post that it's been 5-6 days but no improvement. My eyes are still showing red in the morning. Even at night I feel strain in eyes. For how long, I can use this steroid drop. I had covid 2 month back and was in home isolation. I don't have BP or diabetes. What is suggestive treatment to recover fast. Will there be any side effects of steroid drop

There will definitely be side effects of steroid eyedrops if u r using it for long duration. There are many causes of red eye, so the cause must first be evaluated and then treatment should follow! U need an antibiotic drop along with artificial tear !
