Eye doc or PCP: if you were seen by your PCP then you need to see an eye doctor ophtalmalogist not optemetristin my understanding unless there is a specific pathogen suspected the treatment is a lubricant tp prevent the eye from staying dry unless the culture showed a specific pathogen then it should be treated check with ophtalmologist
