It : It is a complicated question to answer. If your doctor has stopped all therapy, this suggests that the infection is treated but the underlying response to the infection is still being modulated by the healing response. For all intensive purposes, this would indicate that the risk from the infection has been resolved. I would suggest calling your doctor back and asking her the question for a more specific response.

It : It is difficult to say without knowing the cause of your keratitis. You should call your physician back and ask.
