the eye issue could be caused by numerous things from Respiratory Infection, supplements, lighting, etc. The best way for member to give their opinions is to answer these questions. Enclosure looks great, btw.

I'm going to suggest (in addition to completing the form) that you up his misting. Maybe even give him a 20 minute shower. It might be something as simple as an irritation that he needs help getting rid of. The way to help him is to get him nice and wet so he can use his own skills to rinse out the eye (it can look a bit freaky, the eye seems to deflate and scrunch up....but it's what they need to do).
It may be something more serious, but upping misting and giving a shower can be beneficial in lots of situations.
If you decide to put him in the shower, put him on a fake plant so he has something to cling to. Aim the shower to the wall so it bounces onto the plant. The temperature when it hits the plant should be comfortable for you, not at all hot.

You need to start dusting his food with a calcium without d3 at almost every feeding and use a multivitamin once month. You need to start spraying him with a pump or automatic style mister at least 2 times every day for 1-10 minutes at a time. You can also mak a dripper out of a plastic container with a hole poked in the bottom so it drips 1-2 times a second. It will help him stay hydrated. If he recieves unfiltered (not through glass or plastic) sunlight every day he doesn't need a UVB light but he may need a basking light depending on how warm it is. His basking spot should be around 90 and he should have lots of cool spots to escape the heat.
