Steroid drops

It sounds like you have sub-epithelial infiltrates. These are collections of white blood cells in the cornea which can be left after an inflammatory condition. They take time to go away as there is no blood flow to the cornea. The proper treatment to speed resolution at this point is topical steroids. The Alcon drop you mentioned may be a steroid. As for the change in prescription, this can occur when the cornea is inflamed but most likely the blur you notice is from the infiltrates... more

Viral conjunctivitis

Sound you might have suffered from EKC - Epidemic KeratoConjunctivitis. It's a severe form of viral conjunctivitis that can leave corneal scarring. Generally the scars will fade over time but may not go away completely, therefore may slightly affect your vision. Your doctor will be better able to give an accurate prognosis. Aggressive lubrication and sometimes steroid drops are used to treat/alleviate symptoms. Sounds like you are receiving correct treatment. more
