yes, so you should get him to a vet to see what is wrong and catch it early, eye infections can be deadly unfortunately so it is great if you can catch them early.

Flush the eye out with plain saline solution and give him a half hour shower on a plant, turn the shower head to the wall so the water bounces off onto the plant.
