What Could Recurring Infection And Dryness In Eyes Indicate?

I am suffering from eye infection. When i put Ocupol D eye ointment for 2 to 3 days, my eyes is normal. As per doctor suggestion i am using Ocupol D eye ointment. He says i have dry eyes, so he suggest Tear drops & Ocupol D (to use for 15 days). After 15 days when i stop using ointment, after 10-15 days, i got same problem. and i used Ocopol D, it works and same problem repeat after 10-15 days everything. I am suffering a lot. Could u please help me?

Hi,

Repeated eye infection following dryness of eyes can be due to dryness itself. To get rid of the problem:
-Tear drops to be used to prevent dryness after the infection is treated. Have a course of antibiotics along with drops with an expert advise
-Cause of dryness (diabetes or refractory error of eyes or any other eye problem to be yred sufficiently. Please consult an ophthalmologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
