An eye injury like this needs good treatment. Try http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/medeyes.htm for ideas.
Talk to a pharmacist for some good human eye ointments and apply them daily. Keep the turtle out of the water for at least 30 minutes after treatment.
Try to figure out what it hurt itself on and fix that as well.

rinse it out with room temp water. i think it would hurt him if you put anything else on it.
