My cat's scratched eye is red. What can I do until the vet opens?

Question

my cat got his eye scratched last week and it seemed normal the week after but now it's gotten very red suddenly and because it's the weekend I can't go vets until Tuesday. is there anything I can do now to help it? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 months and 23 days old | 8 lbs

It looks red indeed, it's probably infected, i cannot see any visible eye damage (although i can't rule it out without checking the eye myself), if you do not see any deterioration it can wait until Tuesday. there is nothing you can get for this eye condition without a veterinary prescription so any treatment will have to wait.
