Hi I was hope if you had any ideas for me, my 3 year old cat fudge has had conjunctivitis in one eye for a while now, I recently got him
some eye ointment from the vet called amacin, after the frost day there was improvement but now it's worse, he now has it in both eyes, any suggestions on what to do? I'll try and attach some photos

Poor baby
.   Perhaps at this point you need to try to find a different Vet.   This sounds like it's possibly MORE than a simple case of pink eye.  Did you read that article I referenced above.  There is mild conjunctivitis, then there are others.  Mild conjunctivitis has a clear discharge.  This is NOT what you are describing. 

Has your furbaby been diagnosed with Feline Herpes Virus?  This may be the underlying cause of his eye issues.  Are you giving him L-Lysine in his food?  It might be very helpful.  While he is having this awful flareup, 500 mg twice per day (1000 mg total per a 24 hour period)  After that, 250 mg twice per day as a maintenance dose.  I don't think at this point the L-Lysine will clear up his eyes, but it might help them along.
