There could be a few things that cause this. Do you use a dechlorinator before adding new water to your tank? Some turtle's eyes are sensitive to chlorine.
It may have an eye infection - this is fairly common in turtles.
I'll provide a website where you can look ar medical info on their care - look in the section for eyes & ears. It also has a list of turtle vets, so maybe you can find someone knowledgable in your area.

The membrane is the third eyelid that's called the nictitating membrane. it particularly is a classic area of the anatomy however the certainty that it is so seen to you blended with the attention being closed shows a situation. there may well be an infection or some debris lodged interior the attention. whether it particularly is a land turtle try soaking him in heat water. you additionally can get Polysporin ointment designed for eyes and shop on with that yet i could strongly advise a vet appointment if it would not sparkling in an afternoon or so.
