Conjunctivitis still present after 2 months!! Please help!!?

Question

I have had 8 eye doc appts. And this is the 3rd time I've taken Vigamox since the initial infection 2 months ago. The first time I took Vigamox was for 5 days and an eye doc cleared me upon visual examination. The infection came back. The next course of Vigamox was for 8 days. Once again all symptoms seemed to be gone. But it came back again. This is my 3rd time on Vigamox, and once again the acute symptoms seem to disappear very quickly. But I am still nervous. Please help! And please be specific with any suggestions. I am on here because obviously doctors have not been able to help me! I am concerned.

Answer 2

Conjunctival inflammation typically occurs from infection, allergy, or irritation. Symptoms are conjunctival hyperemia and ocular discharge and, depending on the etiology, discomfort and itching. Diagnosis is clinical; sometimes cultures are indicated. Treatment depends on etiology and may include topical antibiotics, antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and corticosteroids.
Moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution is used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye; infection of the membrane that covers the outside of the eyeballs and the inside of the eyelids). Moxifloxacin ophthalmic solution is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones.It works by killing the bacteria that cause infection. Consult your doctor or seek a second medical opinion.

Answer 3

You can get conjunctivitis in a lot of way, it could come from a bacteria, dry eyes, wearing your contacts too much, even from fumes in the air. If you wear contact lenses you should definitely throw them away and get a new pair after the infection has gone away completely. There could be something in your environment that is repeatedly getting into your eye, maybe you should do things like cleaning your pillowcase and cleaning up all the dust in your house (wear goggles while you do it). I used to get conjunctivitis when I worked at the airport because of exhaust fumes from the planes, if you can think of any kind of fume or other contaminant that you are regularly exposed to, then you should try and get away from it.

Answer 4

Get it checked with your doctor again to make sure .May be it is viral. There is no treatment for viral infections and it is usually cured within 3 weeks. Cool or warm compresses can reduce the discomfort. More details and remedies at http://eye-care.in/conjunctivitis.html

Answer 5

you are re-infecting your eyes by something simple like - eye mascara, shadow, contact lenses---you must throw out all the contaminated products you used while having the infection or right before feeling the symptoms---especially contacts if you wear them- even throw the case out and good a new one and check the expiration date on the lens cleaner--makeup is cheap-- sight is a once in a lifetime deal----if you get it again- see a serious eye specialist like go to Wills Eye Hospital in Phila, PA or if you're not on the east coast- there has to be other specialized hospitals for eye problems---do not hold out--- you only have 2 eyes for vision and you need to find out what is infecting your eyes----do you work with air contaminating chemicals?

Answer 6

Sounds like a resistant strain. You need a more powerful antibiotic.
