A member asked:

I have a scratched eye. was in antibiotic drops for 5 days. now an ointment but it does not seem to be healing. how long after starting the ointment should i see improvement? how long will my eyes be red? is it normal for stinging and discharge?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to know. The expected recovery period would depend on where on the eye the scratch is, how deep, how treated. Redness can be a reaction to the scratch or the eye drops. I would follow-up with a call to the treating doc if you are not responding. At least they have the benefit of doing an exam, or did they tret without one?
