I have been to my vets 2 times with my cat because his eye seems to be bothering him, yet I still dont seem to have the right answers.
One morning I woke up, he wouldnt open his left eye at all, it was drippy, red etc. We have recently got a kitten and they play fight a lot, so I took him into the vets and said it might well be a scratch. They did the UV light scratch test and it came back negative, so no visible scratches. They said it might still be trauma from playfighting, so gave him an antibacterial gel to put on the eyeball for 3 days. 5 days later it was still really bad, so took him back to the vets and this time was diagnosed with conjunctivitus, given 10 days of eye drops, and sent home. The drippyness has calmed down considerably, but he still holds his eye closed a lot of the time, he seems down, and most 'worryingly' whenever I photograph him, his eye looks like this:

It isnt just the cat version of redeye, I know what he looks like when that happens, his eyes shine blue. The white lines on his left eye are in every photo I take of him since he got sick.
Ive tried asking my vet to look at the photo and they say it cant be showing anything the vet cant see for themselves. They probably know what theyre talking about, but does anyone elses cat have eyes that show up like this? Its really bothering me. Even if its not painful for him I want to know how to get rid of those lines so I can take more cute photos of my cat!! Thankyou for any ideas x
