If he is having corneal ulcer for 10 days then he should go for culture from scrapping of ulcer & KOH examination. Only vigamox is not effective. Cyclipegic- Mydriatic is also needed. Antifungal drop may also be needed. So it'll be better please go to any rebound eye setup for examination & treatment.
Next Steps
Do a blood test for sugar.
