Well usually Tylan50 is the injectable (200 being 4x's stronger and more burn to the breast muscles). But Tylan = tylosin, still a good drug. it's possible that the disease to which he was referring was one that when the bird heals is chronic, the bird becoming a carrier. That means basically that once you use it, you have to keep using it (as the disease reoccurs). Perhaps that's what he meant. If you don't use it (or another drug) with that disease, you simply cull or let them die. It's not the drug - it's the disease.
The eye drops were probably using the Tylan, or terramycin ophthalmic, or something similar. You can use diluated Tylan50 (very dilute ) as eye drops. Tylan200 wouldn't apply.

Well good on the Mareks not being obvious now - of course survivors are active carriers, so be sure to innoculate all babies, and reinnoculate as necessary, and keep them separate from adults til 5 months or so to reduce Mareks.
I'm sorry to hear about the lost hen though, and all the losses.
