Expert Answer

Cats are nearsighted and see distant things blurry, but catch nearby prey fast. Also, they have strong night vision as pupils widen to let in more light. Finally, a reflective layer (tapetum) lets them see clearly in very dim light.

I read online to use saline, but none was available locally, so I bought levofloxacin eye drops and used them three times daily.
