Hi,
I had a a lady come in complaining of red sore painful eyes and visible red veins on the sclera and slightly protruding right eye. This patient had nose surgery around 6 months ago and also was on accutane for around 6 months also and has been off it for 7 months. Shes also had a sinus infection which is more or less cleared apart from the eye issue. Shes been prescribed chloramphenicol eye drops which helped a lot, but was then given fuscithalmic eye drops which havent worked as the infection keeps coming back. Its not yet been established if it was the accutane or surgery affecting her eyes and she also has eye pain, esp on the lids around the eye (inner bits) and the skin near the nose. She mainly has sore eye skin on waking up in the mornings. Any ideas as to what one can prescribe for the condition and if it will go away with treatment and/or any other advice?
