A quick desciption of my eyes' history before I try to explain the actual problem:
- I had eye problems for as long as I can remember, but it took 21 years before someone could actually tell me that I have blepharitis (I'm almost 24 now).
- Since then I've been using vitapos (Vit A, non preservative, at night), Blink Intensive Tears Plus and Systane B (both with preservative, although the doctor told me they weren't...) and Kamillosan Ofta to clean my eyelids + some kind of soap also to clean my eyelids (read that on this forum).
It worked, with ups and downs and a infection once every 6 months to a year because I didn't pay enough attention, but overall I managed (Maybe good to know: I work as an editor (TV) so I spent my days in front of 3 screens).
But now: somewhere in februari I got hit by a cold virus with messed with the mucous membrames in my eyes (adenovirus). I only found out after a week (and the use of antibiotic eyedrops) when I went to see a proper eye doctor. She gave different eyedrops with antibiotics and cortisone. After about 2 weeks not much had changed, so she renewed the eyedrops. 1,5 week later it still wasnt better and I went to another eyedoctor who thought its because I've been using eyedrops with preservatives too much (I kept on using blink and systane during this time and probably even more than otherwise) and had a bad reaction to it, even after the infection was gone. He told me to stop everything and just use Hylocomod (no preservatives). So I used that during the day and vitapos at night. But: I also stopped using kamillosan with made my blepharitis flare up. After 3 weeks I had a new infection. I went to the emergencies (it was a holiday, couldnt reach anyone) and the doctor there gave me fucitalmic (antibiotic for during the night). I also start using Kamilloson again, altough I notice that the chemicals aren't to friendly for my eyes. 3 weeks later, here we are now: the fucitalmic is almost gone, I don't think my infection is solved (my eyes looked/felt better last week and now its worse again) and I'm clueless where to go from here...
See a doctor again? Try to use vitapos/hylocomod again? I'm just very worried what all of this will do to my eyes on the long run...
