Hi, i was recently diagnosed with nasal nodular episcleritis in my right eye. i've had it for 2 weeks now but it hasn't improved. when will it heal?

Further evaluation: I would follow up with your eyecare provider. If it doesnt resolve on its own, there are oral medications and/or presceiption drops they may suggest.
