Can you post some photos of him and his eye? It may have become irritated by something. Did any of the pool water get near him?

How old is the UV globe , tube ?

and
what is it?
How is installed?
how far from the basking spot?

Swollen eyes can be a symptom of lack of UVA.

What brand compact UV globe is it ?
the cheap nasty Chinese clones flogged as home brands by pet shops are pretty bad and can cause photoconjunctivitis.
More likely the UV globe is cactus wrt UVA & UVB output (the photophors have decayed too much) and needs replacement pronto.

I'd seriously consider ditching current UV compact globe and moving to a 25W UVB200 in the short term or investing in an Arcadia T5HO 12%UVB tube and reflector hood to suit.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
