Beau was on that in the beginning and it helped at first..I would try him without it and see if it looks better

That's what we're going to do. He is fine otherwise - happy, eating, pooping, peeing, snuggling, digging, being Tony.

Did the vet say anything about the clouding being permanent? I hope not 
You did say that it goes from clear to foggy and back? It just depends on the day?
Good luck, Baloney!

There's fluid on the cornea? that's what she said. She couldn't find a scratch or anything but who knows?

I am looking into bunny eye problems & some resources right now. How old is Tony? What symptoms does he still have? Cloudy eye, discharge (color?), red, raw eyelids, and is it both or just one eye?

He is only about 18 mos, no other symptoms other than the cloudy eye and it's slightly swollen but not much at all.

The only things I can find for those symptoms are for young bunnies (under 4 months)
Darn rabbit medicine not being as well developed or published as cat/dog medicine *shakes fist*

It isn't red around the eyelids or has any type of discharge? Runny eyes? Anything?

What did your vet originally diagnose him with? It wasn't a scratch, right? (I don't remember, but I didn't think it was).

She couldn't find a scratch but didn't know if maybe it was someplace she couldn't see or whatever. Strange that his eye looks better today without the medicine!

I wonder if the medicine maybe has worn out its welcome?
This is the only information I could find about "cloudy eyes". They can be caused from intraocular abscesses, corneal ulcers, glaucoma or cataracts. You should be able to see an abscess, but here is the info on that along with E. cuniculi
If, however the cataracts are due to parasitic invasion by Encephalitozoon cuniculi, then I would ask your trusted rabbit vet about a course of fenbendazole (Panacur) for 28 days, to kill the parasites before they do more damage to the nervous system and the kidneys.
If the problem is intraocular abscess, this definitely warrants treatment by a good rabbit vet, preferably one familiar with dental problems in rabbits. Molar roots can sometimes intrude into the orbit of the eye, and even penetrate the eyeball of an elderly or ill rabbit suffering from osteoporosis, and there are very specific ways that such an abscess must be treated.
It's not possible that it is an ulcer, right? Here is a wee bit of info (and some icky pictures) regarding corneal ulcers = http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/Eye_diseases/Differential/Corneal_ulcers.htm
I doubt any of that will help, but it's worth a shot!

He has the corneal edema thing. She stained his eye and looked at it and found nothing. She referred him to the specialist but at this time we just can't pay for that. I'm trying to keep him to the point of NOT getting worse (and he actually does look better) until I can afford it..... I'm ready to rob a bank!
