EC and eye damage

Anyone know how this shows up?

My foster bun, Timmy, has something wrong with both his eyes, and marks showed up on both corneas, near the bottom, when the vet put dye in them. She tried to rinse the dye out, to see if it was old scar tissue, but the dye stayed in both.

There is now a very slight clouding in both eyes, again at the bottom where the marks showed up.

The vet thought originally it was a corneal ulcer, but said it was unlikely to be in both eyes at the same place. Timmy has been on drops anyway, and Meloxidyl as he spends a lot of his time with his eyes half closed or closed.

Does it sound like something that could be EC related? Or does anyone have any other thoughts?

He is back at the vet on Friday.
 
Thanks for that Jane :wave:.

Not sure if it describes him. He doesn't have any inflammation, or discharge, and both his eyes are the same, in the same area.
 
It's hard to see them, but his upper lids are a slightly different shape.

If you look closely, you can see that there is something wrong with his eyes. The bit where the mark is looks drier than the rest of his eye, which looks fine.

Not sure how well he can see either. His pupils react to light, but the vet gave me some tasks to do to test him, but he moves so slowly in a new area that I can't tell.
