Take him to the vet, they probably will give you eyedrops or something. You will be ok! Don't let it go for too long.

Hi! I had a two dwarf hamsters and one of them had that problem. The hamster has an eye infection. Take him to the vet IMMEDIATELY otherwise it will turn out for the worst. Tell your vet when the problem started. Ask him how to prevent it in the future.

It sounds like conjunctivitis aka pink eye. Use great hand washing after handling him. The vet has antibiotic ointments for the eyes which are inexpensive and easy to use. Drops are available, but require more frequent application.Good luck and get that infection cleared up as soon as you can to prevent blindness or sepsis. have a great year.

Take him to the vet....this isn't a home remedy type of thing. Most likely he will need medicated eye drops.
