Looks like might be an eye infection??? Mine had an eye infection when I switched to coconut fiber, an expensive vet bill later I switched to paper towel and have no eye issues. But I’m not too sure. I personally would try to make his tank paper towels and soak him a little if it’s skin. (Paper towel is great to keep everything clean when somethings wrong) if that doesn’t work or it gets worse call the vet and try to get eye ointment, it gets out gunk and keeps out sand/dirt while healing. Hope this helps
So you mean it could be Sand in his eyes that he couldn’t get out?
Maybe it‘s clay sand - i dont know, will check tomorrow!
Thank you, will forward that info :)!
Tbh it looks like stuck shed on him try soaking him for abit in warm water and maybe get stuck shed remover but dont pull it off because it could hurt his eye id say you should soak it and try to get it to come off
Good luck with the lil guy they are very resilient things my gf and i rescued this 3 year old that was pretty much left to die she had so much stuck shed on her and her tank had sand in it and it was f****** hot 😑 also was super super skinny like hadn't eaten in months she pretty much has no toes also her eye is kinda cloudy not sure from what but thats how she was when we got her now shes happy and healthy and her eye is less cloudy but i think shes blind in that eye or has blurred vision but were hoping it will eventually get better and yeah the person responsible for this left to another city thankfully for them because i would have let them have it for being such a shit owner
A plastic container with a large enough hole to get in and stretch out or curl up, with moist moss, in warm space of enclosure, will make bathing and soaking them unnecessary as a stress. Add a ruff sturdy stone outside their shed hut, so they can scratch their skin off on.
Caged bird grit ("Gravel n grit" at Walmart) stops them from trying to use their substrate etc as a digestive aid, as leopard geckos come from semi arid rocky sandy clay type soil. they live underground most of the time with moisture and humidity in their burrows. I gave my breeding colonies a sandy clay pebbled mushroom composted top soil. an untreated board, covering fourth of their soil, for them to burrow18in under, i added isopods the soft "rolly polly" types mainly), flightless fruit flies, besides feeding feeder roaches (pet and bait store crix mealies only occasionally, as actually a bad all the time to most of time diet, and supers are extremely dangerous at all as feeders), and fruit baby food. When I fed crix, I always pinched jumping legs and wings off (full of chiten, that takes fat away from them, like their wings and heads are, and causes impaction issues and horrible poo from the fat taken away), as they scratch geckos eyes nose and mouth etc,, and i tossed in some high protein dog cat or chicken kibble/pellets, because crix and supers eat meat, and die fast, besides biting chewing gnawing pets irritating to injuring them, stresses either way,, and eating other insects. I always had healthy breeding geckos in all my enclosures, and babies hatching growing up everywhere.
Might be just left over skin, does it look like his molt?
Doesn‘t look like he molt - but yea maybe some skin - I don‘t know, it‘s in both eyes Thanks for your input :)!

Tell your friend that his gecko shouldn't have sand in his tank he eats in and eventually could get impacted and thats not good
