My baby veiled is closing his left eye during the day

He keeps closing his left eye as if its irritating him. I have his branches about 6 inches down from the light but he climbs up a plant and goes right up to the light. Could the light be bothering him? Also he shed yesterday could he have skin stuck in there?

Also another thing that alarmed me is that he fell asleep on my hand when I took him out to look at his eye. It was close to his bedtime but it still alarmed me.

He's been getting crickets everyday with calcium and D3 which was recommended from where I got him.
