Go over the lighting the UVB brand and bulb? Coil or tube? Basking bulb bright white or off colored or colored bulb?

Ok the T 5 is it inside the tank or top of screen --- if its on top the screen MUST be a wide hole screen no fine mesh --- that would not have anything to do w/ the eye --- shed would --- is he shedding? is the eye swollen --

the t5 is inside but 12 ich away from basking spot he just fished shedding is face beard neck and eye and nose and shoulder and some of his arms his eye isn't swollen and just a couple minuts ago he open his eye for some time and it look very clear could this be an infection behind the eye?

Not sure -- its not watering ? Post a pic of it but it could be the normal closing of one eye when basking -- they will do that --- and all your lighting sounds good so that is not a issue and if the shedding is done then not that either -- so I am thinking its just the normal closing of the eye when basking

Hi there, it's likely just some minor irritation like a tiny speck of shed or other debris. You can get some plain saline eyewash [ not contact lens solution though ] and gently flush it a little. If it persists for more than a few days you might have a vet check it.
