Just a quick thought on a slight tangent... As he is relatively unknown to you - is it possible he may have fluke? I have struggled with one of mine on and off for a while, between us and the vets we went through every idea we could think of.. Then I learned what liver fluke can do to them...
Yes, mud fever can and will do this.... for every body saying get the vet in, I am pretty certain they have already been as the OP states the horse is already on antibiotics! OP keep in touch with the vet and they will be able to advise the best course of action if this doesn't start to clear...
While I understand that looking after and being wise with your money is important to the majority of people, and getting a good deal is very helpful... playing devils advocate here... the internet shops only concerns are premises to store and dispatch product from and a small team of associated...

To be fair though, a whole tube of Panacur is the recommended dose per 90kg bodyweight for a scouring foal of this age - we had one this year who was reasonably bright in herself but just continually scouring. Tried a whole range of supportive treatments but only really dried up after this...
It's totally different though, isn't it - a foal born blind as opposed and elderly horse losing its sight. I have to say, I'm not sure I would put any of mine through being blind but having said that I knew a working shire whose sight gradually deteriorated to the point of near blindness - his...
