Hard to say what those lines could be. Have they gotten thicker?

I'd try the Zoo Med turtle eye drops. Cod liver oil only helps when there is a vitamin deficiency.

I took him to a vet... theres no vet for exotic pets nearby and the doctor said she has treated many RES ... So She said that its because of the climate change... she prescribed : Teramycin Capsule , Dexona tablets and Visyneral Drops... which she said to dissolve in the water and then keep the turtle for 30 minutes in it twice a day... and an eye drop 'Gentamicin eye drops'
Will this cure him ? :/

I'm not familiar with those medications. Has he shown any improvement yet?

Our turtles have the same name. Great choice :-) I applaud you for taking your little one to the vet. Hope its eyes get better soon!

Just to let you know team... slidy is all fine now.. his eyes are perfect and so is he :) I just bring him under direct sunlight everyday in a basket and let him walk in the garden .... also he eats live fishes now (Molly ,Guppy ,silver dollar, Feeder Fishes) and his pellets :) I make sure I am not over feeding... He looks healthy ! Thanks to this forum :)
