If it looks like my tort has an eye problem I gently drip some saline solution over it to wash it out (the sort sold for contact lens wearers).
Is he rubbing it?

It looks like it may be a piece of dry skin that may come off of his head. Just give him a good warm soaking, it could take a couple soaking. Leave him soak and he may get it out on him or her self. Good luck

Yeah he is rubbing it, with the saline solution just put him drops?

That's what I do - just gently drip some over his eye using a dropper so that it runs down and anything in it will flush out.
Clean water may have the same effect.
If it was the 2 eyes I would be asking you what bulbs you use because curly and cfl type can burn and damage eyes, but if it's just the one eye that's unlikely.

Do you soak him regularly? I'd give a long warm soak and use a sprayer to gently rinse the eye with water.
