Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello,

The very fact that the redness has not disappeared inspite of the steroid eye drops shows that it is not due to inflammation or allergy in the eye ( both of these would have disappeared with steroids).I would suggest that you consult your ophthalmologist once again for a closer look.

Regards
