No help but a visit at the vet ASAP. Either injured or infected.
Do not ask in forums, hurry to see the vet.
Good luck

Yes see the vet immediately. This is a relatively common case. The eye can bulge out on a gecko causing no pain or discomfort to him once in a while. It is wierd but it happens, however, it usually is not white. From what I know this occurs from lack of vitamin A, which I believe is vegitables. The only way I can see how a tokay can get vegies is through the cricket's diet. Try and gutload your crickets from now on with vegies and dark greens. Once again, double check on this with the vet on this info and make sure you get the gecko in for a checkup ASAP.
