If it's the front surface of the eye it will be a corneal problem - possibly just retained eyecaps or possibly and infection. If it seems to be in the pupil it could possibly be a cataract...
Sounds more like the former to me, and I'd advise a reptile specialist vet opinion. |

Better to get it checked ASAP by a rep-vet, especally if the eye is sunken.
You may cause more harm than good if you start treating for retained cap instead of an infection or other condition. |
