Dr. Benjamin Smith answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Systemic vs local: I suggest seeing an ophthalmologist who may consider labs to check for vitamin A deficiency and maybe autoimmune diseases. It can the be determined what would help you best: systemic treatment, drops, or in office procedures.
