Will Natural Remedy, Silver Biotics Help SLK?

Hello, Today I was diagnosed with SLK in my right eye. I have had symptoms for 3 weeks. The opthamologist recommended to not wear contacts for at least 10 days and if the symptoms do not subside then he suggested steroids. However, today the symptoms are increasing with burning and dryness, would it be ok to fulfill the prescription now instead of waiting? Secondly, a natural remedy was suggested called silver botics. Has anyone heard if this will help SLK? Thank you for your time.

You have to discontinue using contact lens and apply refresh tear eye drop. Dry eye is the only problem known. No idea about silver biotic. For a long duration dis continue using contact lens and use your specs. Artificial tear drop should be continued.
