My cham had the same issue about 2 days ago, gave me a lil scare post shed...

I would say to give him a warm mist or put him on a plant in the shower for a little steam session.... also try a q-tip with warm water and gently dabbing the eye a little, i gave mine some mist and checked my setup over and cleaned it and he got better...
