;P
depends on how deformed, leos like some geckos can't really lick there eye real good so they have an eyelid to help keep it moist and get dirt off. I have seen some with deformed eyelids live healthy lives and other eyes matt up terrible guess you will have to try and see best I know to say.

Even if your on the right track you will get run over if you just sit there 
I had an albino baby like this in April. She is still alive but has a hard time getting food and is really small compared to her clutchmate. I have her on paper and would not put her on sand ever. I have been handfeeding her small crickets and she is getting larger everyday
There is hope!!!!!
One had too small of an eyelid and didn't cover the eye.
The second seems to have eyelids too big and can't open or see.
The first one was already put down. The second one I need to put down soon. So far there's no sign that the little one can see and I would rather put her down than starve her anymore.
Good luck with your little one. Hopefully there's a chance that it can indeed see.
