Hi, my 10 dd has been diagnosed with blepharitis at the beginning of April. She had a limbal phlycten, a delayed reaction due to her blepharitis and was prescribed fusidic acid and steroid eye drops. After completing the course her eyes were fine for a week until her eye inflammation came back again. On the first visit to the hospital, I was not advised by the eye doctors to apply warm compress and lid cleaning so I assum her blepharitis flared up again. Today I had to take her back to the eye hospital because she has another phlycten. The doctor gave me a prescription to treat it and told us to come back in 2 weeks time.
After the second visit to the eye hospital, I had started with warm compress and lid cleaning and her eyes seem to be a lot better. Today was her fourth visit to the eye hospital.
All the eye doctors that my dd has seen had not offered much advice or info. Can any optometrists here offer me some useful advice in preventing her getting any more phlyctens as I would like her to avoid using steroid eye drops.
Many thanks.
