My Dog Scratched My Eye. I recently had LASIK (Photo)

grr2791Feb 26, 2015
In 2014, my Retriever scratched my right eye.Now,I have continuous discomfort in the right eye (I feel like something is in there), it's red, vision sometimes is hazy, & my eye itches a lot.I recently had LASIK & the ophthalmologist prescribed Zymaxid, Durezol, & Lotemax (none worked). She said that she can't seem to see that anything is wrong with my eye except that one blood vessel appears to be damaged & she recommended that I go to another eye doctor to get a second opinion.Any ideas?
