It looks like your cat has a seriously deep corneal ulcer. I cannot suggest any treatment without examining her myself. This probably needs surgery. All you are doing with the Ciplox is preventing infection - that will not heal this. You need to take her to a vet for an exam. In the meantime, I recommend you use an eye ointment (not a liquid drop) on the eye as it will protect the cornea better. https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/tetracycline-eye-ointment-11084634148.html
