Medical Conditions - Post Adenoviral Subepithelial Keratitis

Following adenoviral eye infections, subepithelial infiltrates and inflammation can be found in the eye that can last for longer periods. These post-adenoviral subepithelial keratitis are thought to occur due to delayed hypersensitivity reactions. It is an immune response to the virus or viral antigens in the eye (corneal stroma). Corticosteroids can help to reduce the inflammatory response in the eye. These usually resolve in a few weeks to months.

After conjunctivitis, my eyesight has become blurred. Why?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the history you described, I think you had adenoviral conjunctivitis and after that blurry vision was due to post adenoviral subepithelial keratitis.
