Hello
It seems from the history that you are having allergic conjunctivitis. The treatment of the condition is by use of anti-histaminic eye drops like olopatadine.
Sterodex is a steroid eye drops and it should be used in severe cases and should be avoided for long term use as it can cause steroid related side effects like glaucoma or cataract formation.
Hence you need to use anti-histaminic eye drops and if possible you need to avoid any allergen if you can identify.
Thank you
