What's wrong with my RF?

I just noticed some thing funky about my RF. It's right eye seems fine but the left eye is white. No signs of runny nose. And it still seems alert when I pick it up or touch him. I've had him for a few months now and this is recent find. What can cause this? I attached two pics. One of each side so you can see the difference.


Here is another look

It's hard to tell in the pics. But it looks like it's bad eye is shut and has some puss or gunk in it?

What lights do you have, humidity, substrate?

Coconut shreds for substrate. Humidity is kept at 85% and temp is around 80. Both light bulbs are zoomed

Looks like he has something in it/irritating it....I would suggest you gently flush the eye with water (gently flush it with like a small clean squeeze bottle) a few times a day for a few days and see if you see any improvement....

I'd give him a bath and try to find a syringe like thing that shoots a small gentle stream of water and focus on his eye. Or maybe just a Q-tip would do but I hope he gets better

Looks as if his 3rd lid is stuck. Soak him and do as said above.

I would avoid a Qtip or anything that will potentially rub on the eyeball surface...this would only aggravate the eyeball more....soaking and gently eye flushes would be beneficial...
