This could be from a few different things...
First it might be that when he shed he didn't shed around his eye right and has some old shed skin in eye. If this is the case you can take some saline solution on a Q-tip and lightly rub it over his eye. Then give him a nice warm bath to help relax him.
Second, it could be an eye infect caused by scraping his eye on something. If this is the case you will need to take him to vet to so that you can recive some eye oitment. This could be casused from anything pokie in you cage like bushes, fake plants, weird edges on hides or other objects you leo rubs on when hes sheding.
third, If you keep him on sand or any other small loose bedding he could have got some of it in his eye and cant get it out. If this is the case you will again need to get some saline solution and flush out his eye really good. If the peice of sand or what ever is in there scratched or damanged anything he will need to go to the vet and some oitment to help prevent infection and help heal it.
I hope this helps.... if you have any other questions feel free to e-mail me at socalherpers@yahoo.com

try dabbing a little water on eye lids to see if they open on their own, if not call a vet that works with reptiles and see if the vet thinks maybe an eye ointment might work.might have an infection of some kind coming on.

It may be dried shut. Try dabbing it softly with a warm wet washcloth to remove any dried material on it. If this doesn't work, it may have an eye infection and you'll have to get to a reptile vet! Good luck!

Don't worry bout a thing. Do u think geckos in the wild go to vets, no. Best thing to do is leave if alone. Don't spray with water..............itll annoy it. Leave him/her be.

if you left a cricket in there it will suck the moisture out of its eye. but i would try warm not hot water. just got one last week the lady at the pet shop said to do that.

You need to soak him in warm water....if this doesn't help he needs to go to a vet.

I would let her sleep.... so as not to upset her and hear him roar! May I inquire as to if you live in Great Britain?
