Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having alkali injury of the eye.
The treatment you are on is in right direction but see that the predforte eye drops should be stopped after 10 days under the advice of your treating ophthalmologist.
This will heal by 2-4 weeks depending on the grade of injury. Use of artificial tears will provide quick symptomatic relief.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
