So 2 nights ago I did a 50% water change, everything normal he's eating and basking great, very healthy, UVB lighting and all the neccessities. Water temp did not change much, around 75, basking temp 87.

The next morning I find him on top of his basking spot, the shell was dry so he's been there a while. That night I find him basking(head down, looks asleep) where he probably was all day. His eyes are closed, and when he noticed me one eye opened, one did not. The closed eye did not look too swollen, but he could not open it. He went into the water, it remained shut, and he started using his arms to try to open it. It finally opened, slightly, and the eye looked very watery, and the lowen eyelid looked swollen and stretched out.

The next moring, today, he is again on his basking spot(head up, not down) , he's been basking a lot the last 2 days, and both eye are open, but the swollen eye is still very watery and the lower eyelid remains puffy.
Anyone know what to do??? Is it because of the water change?? Please Help!
