...the vet called back. He specifically told me that in anterior uveitis (please don't tell me there are many kinds, I know it has many causes) there are particular changes inside the eye that Mitzi doesn't have. Her issue is always with the conjunctiva, which leads him to suspect that the cornea in her left eye is less sensitive than it should be and she doesn't always blink when she should. I'll take it.

I'll also ask that she wear her mask when she's outside, and if TeePee rips it off I'll get her another one.

More ointment for the weekend, a little more bute, and if it happens again he'll definitely have another look inside the eye. If I explain it's only for another few days, maybe she'll keep on not stomping on me. (Matt Mays's sore eye looked much worse, but I bet he didn't need to be held by the nose to be given eyedrops. Still, I doubt he was any better patient than Mitzi.)
