Pics aren't all that good, but I am hoping someone can advise on what is happening here & what is the cure?

It's either scaley mite or an eye infection imo. You need to treat for eye infection first with a product called golden eye ointment or some other antibiotic ointment for eyes. Craig

I agree with Craig. Try Chlorsig 1% ointment, it is a broad spectrum antibiotic and works well. I have used it many times as a dressing after numerous surgeries for sun cancers on the recommendation of the surgeons. Used to be on prescription only now is sold over the counter. It also comes in drops which I have on hand all the time when my eyes get a bit sticky at times especially after getting dust in them from doing the lawns.

Good luck

Good stuff, great to hear. Something to keep in the memory bank. It is good stuff but does have a relatively short life after being opened.
