Anyone else had one? How long did it take to heal?

I've been prescribed Exocin for infection.

I had to use the Exocin eye drops round the clock for a couple of days, then go back for a check, then carry on for another few days, and then go back for another check, and then moved to steroid drops for 3-4 days. It was incredibly painful to start with.

And after a 2nd time, I never wore contact lenses again ...

How are you holding up?

Ah thanks so much for replying!

I've done 3 days of exocin drops every two hours and I'm not feeling much relief to be honest. It's affecting my sinuses and ability to sleep.

Going in for a check up again tomorrow, not sure what they'll say. Hoping they don't do the test again where your vision goes blurry for 6 hours.

Glad yours didn't last too long - just reading that I feel there is an end in sight (bada-boom), hopefully I'm just a few days away from feeling normal again!
