My cat's cloudy, squinting eye returned. Could it be an infection?

Question

My cat's entire eye is cloudy and he is keeping it squinted shut. We took him to an emergency vet and he said my other cat scratched him, so he prescribed oral antibiotics and an ointment. It has been a few weeks and yesterday I noticed it is back again. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

He will likely need more medication, so it's best to take him back to the vet. I would be more suspicious of an infection in the cornea (outside of eye) or inside the eye with a reoccurring problem like this. No need to take him to the emergency vet though. It can wait until normal business hours. I hope that helps and Rascel gets better soon.
