Have you given him a bath since his shed? I wondering if it would help any.
The only reason why I brought this point up is because I went through this with mine. He's the weird burm who drinks constantly and pees every other day. He came to me in a tank with a screen lid and obviously, the humidity was difficult to maintain. One day I looked at him and he had dented in his eyeball. Well, they protrude outward, y'know, and I thought he must have bumped it along the glass or something. I found out it was a side effect of low humidity.
Living in FL, I don't deal with low humidity very often. I had been keeping snakes for a decade and had never heard of this. Sure enough, I misted him daily, covered his lid with foil, and he's better. The bottom photo in your original message reminds me of what it looked like when his eye caved in. It seems that my burm requires a higher humidity for whatever reason...just his makeup.
