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.
Idk tho cus this never happened untill i brought him in the sun for like 3 hours and uvb is a coil and about 5 months but its pretty close the the basking light.idk what it is. i threw the box away.
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.
