The Best Techniques for Cleaning Your Cat's Eyes

Use a suitable eye solution
Choose a cat eye solution recommended by your veterinarian. Avoid using products intended for humans, which may be too harsh for cats.

Proceed gently
Gently hold your cat's head and apply the solution to sterile gauze. Wipe gently around the eyes, avoiding touching the eyeball directly.

Show consistency
Clean your cat's eyes regularly, especially if they are prone to eye discharge. This prevents debris buildup and infections.

Monitor for signs of irritation
If you notice signs of redness, swelling or discomfort after cleaning, consult a veterinarian. These symptoms may indicate an infection or allergy.
