By UPTODATE: chronic irritation and recurrent corneal infiltrates can lead to scarring and development of a superficial corneal pannus (“pseudo-pterygium”). I wonder if the primary bacteria could be identified by the exudate culture for the appropriate topical antibiotic +/- systemic antibiotic. You have to follow your eye surgeon closely and if possible, you should consider a second opinion.
