the "bump" in the lips, is shed building up around the gums, do you have a humid hide in there with them? this sounds like more of a horrible shedding problem more than a disease

the eyes are closingand becoming cloudly, because the shed is more than likely getting stuck and drying out on the spectacle(scale over the eye) causing the eye to become infected, this will lead to the eye drying up and either falling out, or becoming so infected that it drys out completely and stays in the geckos sockets, causing pus to grow around it and becoming larger, and more infected, if this happened, eventually a vet will need to remove the eyes, give them a good humid hide and keep it damp, spray it everyday, i would also reccomend seperating them for now, just incase it is something a little more complicated, why take a risk right?

they are probably dying from dehydration, the shed will dry them out rather fast, and stress them more than ever, and stress is the #1 killer of any animal, next to ignorance

if it gets worse, take them to a vet
