Please get fred rechecked as an emergency. Most ulcers (refers to any injury or scratches to the surface of the eye) heal with the treatments you describe but rarely complications develop such as 'melting ulcers ' where the inflammation progresses and causes further damage and pain, this is most common in breeds with large eyes and short noses such as bulldogs
