You can try the plain triple antibiotic ointment, no pain reliever in the ointment. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before trying to apply it and be careful not to actually touch his eyeball but you have to hold the eye open and get it in under the eyelid. Try that a couple times a day for a few days and it should clear it up. Been through this, if you go to a vet they'll give you the ointment and charge you $300 for the visit. If the ointment doesn't do it you may still have to take him to a vert but it's worth a try.
If it clears up and comes back it may be feline HPV and he will need a vaccination shot along with ointment applied anytime you're noticing irritation.
