My kitten's eye ulcer is getting worse on drops. Should I see the vet?

Question

I was given an abandoned kitten (found alone). She is around 5 weeks old and has two eye ulcers from what the initial vet told me. She has been on tobramycin for a week, 4-5 drops a day. I’m afraid her eye has formed a descemetocele and gotten worse, but I have little knowledge of cat eye. I didn’t not know if I should immediately take her in to change the treatment course or persist with the tobramycin. She seems to keep her eyes open and no discharge. Right eye is much more severe. Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 14 days old

Place an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent pawing or rubbing. Since her condition has possibly changed, she should be recheck by your veterinarian or a veterinary ophthalmologist. Based on the results of an exam, the treatment may change.
