A ophthalmologists diagnosed viral conjunctivitis steroids were given.5 wks later my vision is still blurry but improving very slowly, is this normal?

Atypical but possibl: Vital keratoconjunctivitis can take many weeks to resolve, depending on the type of virus. It's important to be followed carefully & tapered gradually with the topical steroid drops. Blurry vision still may take awhile to recover, & infrequently sub-epithelial corneal scars can remain and, if centrally located, can affect visual acuity. An update refraction needed to assess your best vision
