My baby has this on both eyes. My vet prescribed a steroidal hydrocortizone ointment that I put around his eyes every day until it looks better. He has allergies. I just switched him to a grain free food (TOTW) and the vet told us to wash his eyes every day and then put the ointment on it. We use plain water and soak the eye and wipe it off with a cotton pad. It helps a lot.

The ointment says "Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates, Bacitracin Zinc and Hydrocortizone Opthalmic Ointment" I think it's called Apexa (unless that's the maker?) It is supposed to not be irritating to the eyeball if it gets in there.

Good luck!
