That looks like an abscess in the upper corner of the eye to me. It may not be an actual 'eye' infection but something has caused quite a bit of swelling in the upper left corner of the eye. Something could have bit your lizard and its infected, foreign material may have worked itself under the eye lid etc. In either case, you need to take him to a vet to get it properly assessed.



Without proper treatment, its likely to only get worse, maybe so bad as to push the eyeball right out of the socket, risking loss of that eye. Though some abscesses are not caused by an 'infection' they have underlying causes which could be life threatening to your lizard.



At first when you described the eye has being kind of clouding I was thinking maybe unshed eye caps...something that happens with snakes, though most lizards don't have this issue...but with the picture, its definitely nothing to do with stuck shed.
