Hornworm bite in the eye

[Preezy]

So i was feeding my beardie a hornworm this morning. This hornworm was pretty big and my beardie went for it. As soon as he chomped on it..the hornworm swung around and i THINK bit him in the eye. He ate him whole but then started freaking out and rubbing his eye on things. I don't know if it was bitten or he got worm juice on it, cuz he had all the brown liquid from the hornworm on it. I went to rinse his eye out a little and he seemed to be able to open his eye again, but he keeps closing it every couple of seconds. Any suggestions? i really don't want to go to the vet for this..but if i have to then so be it. Hes opening it just fine as i speak, but that little freak out he had kind of deterred me from hornworms alltogether..

Sounds like he just got some juice in his eye. Give it some time, it'll probably be fine.
