Have you ever had an eye infection of this sort

So no matter what I do (contacts or glasses), my right eye is always blurry and has some double-vision. I go to the eye doc., he gives me the normal check up but no matter what lenses he tries (you know the drill, "what line can you read, which lens is better..1..or 2...3.or.4"....etc.) we can't get my vision to clear up. Finally he says "I figured it out, you have an eye infection on your cornea but you are asymptonatic". Then all of a sudden says "wait, there is an eye lash on there.....oh wait, nope the eyelash is gone". Then he gives me a perscription for "anti-inflamatory" drops and says to not wear my contacts. How does an anti-inflamatory clear up an infection?

I guess that's why he's the doc and I'm not but I hope I do'nt go blind!

Perhaps it's just to clear up the inflamation to restore normal vision, and the infection will go away on it's own.
Or maybe he just hates you, and wants you to go blind in one eye so you have to wear an eye patch and people will think you're a pirate instead of a ninja.

How long has it been "always blurry?" Did you just wake up to this, or has it been going on for a while?

Go somewhere else & get another opinion.

My KC was originally diagnosed as amblyopia.

It took a year of wearing glasses, my vision slipping (unnoticed by me), before I saw a cornea specialist & was diagnosed with KC.

I was thinking about wearing a patch. But have you ever seen or even heard of a guy in a ninja suit wearing a pirate patch?!?! It might be against the ninja code
