Frodo has a clear runny eye, not red or swollen or pussy, its just like he is crying out of one eye...My grandma said she used to make a solution for her cats eyes and it always cleared them up...now i made the solution and let me say as long as i put it in his eye 3-4 times a day it quits running, over night when he wakes up it is running again...any ideas of what it could be and how many days it is safe to give him this?. The vet does not seem to worried since it is clear and not red or swollen or irritated.

It sounds like you are using a boric acid solution as an antiseptic, is that correct? But, the the vet doesn't think it is an infection?  I'm afraid some cats have one weak eye, it happens, especially after they have a URI in the past and we live with it if the vet isn't concerned. When I have had a cat with this problem, I've just used a damp soft cloth to clean the surrounding area. Have you told your vet  you are treating the eye with a boric acid solution?
