Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness pain in the eye and you are on treatment with pred forte eye drops.
This history points to non infective inflammatory diseases like uveitis. Uveitis tend to run a long course and requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
