One of my cat’s eyes has a white film, the other won’t open, often tears, and the fur at the corner is gone, leaving a black layer.

The other eye's tearing has causes: 1) high oil/salt/fat diet causing heat and discharge; 2) congenital blocked nasolacrimal duct - surgery possible but recurs; 3) viral disease; 4) foreign-body irritation.
