When bastet had her infection of the herpes virus, they looked exactly like the way you described it TC. The vet said the best thing for her was Zovirax twice a day - the cream -spread liberally on the eyes and then an elizabethan collar for an hour or so - thats so she couldn't lick it off.

It does get better - the worst thing though is for your kitty to go out into the garden in long grass with eyes like that but sunlight helps heaps too!

Hope kitty gets better soon
