Scratches on left eye

Aramis and D’artagnan often fight recently. They get at each other with teeth and nails. D’artagnan hit Aramis’ left eye with its nail. The eye kept tearing for a couple of days and was half closed so we went to check it at the vet.
this is how it looks like :

She checked the eye but putting a fluorescent lotion that shows the scratches.There were 3. She gave us some neo polycin ointment cream to put in the eye every 4 to 6 hours for 2 days; then come back to see if it improved.
It is not easy to apply as it is a cream. Once some is on the eye, I close the eye and gently rub.

We went to have the eye checked again  after a couple of days and after putting the fluorescent lotion, she told us it was much better. I would have to put the cream for 5 more days to make sure all is cured.
I finished the treatment and his eye is back to normal..
