Unfortunately you cannot treat it in an efficient way without seeing a vet, the eye needs to be checked, if there is a scratch on the cornea Rocky will need two types of drops (corneal repair drop and antibiotic drop) in order for the eye to heal, those drops are prescription only. if left untreated he could lose the eye.
