Sub epithelial opacities
I was diagnosed with sub epithelial opacities post a very bad and severe Adenoviral kerato conjunctivitis. I was seing halos in the left eye which was the most affected for almost a month. My opthalmologist gave me a soft steroid for two weeks to use three drops a day. Its been 5 days of me using the drops, my halos are completely gone. But I am seeing starburst around lights in both eyes and sometimes some of them also have multiple colors. But its not like rings around light or halos. I am really freaking out, what is this as the online research is suggesting cataract or even worse things. Touchwood vision is unaffected, so clarity problem. What should I do, this just started from last 4 days. I am so scared, I have myopia of -2 and floaters too.
