Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pink eye and it had not responded to treatment even after 2 weeks.
This indicates that probably it is viral and it is involving cornea causing keratitis as indicated by blurring of vision.
This requires treatment by the use of antivirals, antibiotics and topical steroids once the infection is controlled.
This may require 2-3 months to resolve depending on the severity.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
