You can use an eye drop with a cotton ball, soft cloth or wipe to gently remove any discharge or debris that accumulates around your cat's eyes. Be sure to use a different cotton ball or cloth for each eye, and avoid using any harsh chemicals or substances near your cat's eyes.

Cats may exhibit a variety of symptoms when experiencing eye pain, including squinting, pawing at the eyes, rubbing the face against objects, and avoiding bright light.

However, if you notice any changes in your cat's eye appearance or behaviour, such as redness, discharge, squinting, or rubbing at the eyes, you should make an appointment with your vet as soon as possible.
