Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

Kindly follow up with a bit more information,

Do you have pain/redness in that eye, discharge, fever?

As you have heaviness in eyes, so for further assessment, I would suggest you to consult with ophthalmologist for detailed clinical examination. He may procure fundoscopy/ophthalmoscopy, vision assessment as per evaluation to rule out any other possibilities for infection.

Till that continue antibiotic eye drops as advised. Use dark goggles. Avoid repeated eye touching.

Hope I have answered your query...
