Need consult: The medication you are taking has a steroid in it. If your eye infection is not improved in 5 days you need to be seen immediately. Continued use of steroid drops in an eye infection can lead to complications. Make an appt as soon as possible. Good luck.

Instead of going to the ER after my cat scratched by scleras, I put saline solution in. In March, the opto said no infection just inflammation and prescribed omega-3, hot compress and eye drops, yet pain and red lines still there. Will I go blind?
