    Unhappy Infected, swollen eye?? please help.

    Okay so I have a weird issue
    - A locust bit my pacman's eyelid weeks ago (I can't remember exactly how many sorry)
    - his eye swelled up a bit and i took it as part of the healing process

    I'm not sure which one came first but i think it was the eye infection
    - his non-injured eye had some white stuff on the edges of his eyelid, like where the 2nd eyelids meets skin. and the injured eye was still the same but had some darkness (which i thought was blood building up inside to heal) around the inside of the outer eyelid
    - i changed his mud because it was time and accidentally left it with too much water and fungus grew but i didn't realise for some days and changed it

    - I did one Melafix bath then forgot I had to do more (I know it's very bad)
    - I am doing them again now, i'm on the fourth completed day but missed one day bc I forgot.
    - his injured eye is still swollen, and the darkness is still there but has what I'm pretty sure it has a green tint. and idk if this was always there but there's slight cloudiness now.
    - but the non-injured eye seems to have almost no white stuff

    It look terrible.
    my questions are:
    - Is the Melafix even going to work? This is a bacterial infection right?
    - How do I know when he needs a vet?
    - Is this even fixable or is he a lost cause?
    - If this is serious and he will die soon, any estimate for how soon?

    The last image is blurry so it's useless my bad and I forgot to say that in the last image his eye is weird because of an old cloudy eye infection, it's not anything new.

    Even tho no one responded here's an update incase some1 has a similar issue:
    I've been doing Melafix baths. At first I did the method of dipping a toothpick in the Melafix then moving it in the water and left him in for 20-30 mins, for a week nothing changed. Then I was advised to put it on his eye instead of leaving him, and using a syringe to put 0.025mm (I think) of Melafix in the water. I think it has slightly gotten better.
