ive looked it up and im unsure what this could be caused by? is it reversible and is it something that i should really be concerned about? there heat is up in the eighties and the humidity gets up into the 70s

Bubbles in the eye is a sign of either being too hot or too dry, or a combination of the two. I would up your soaks, and what method are you using to measure temperature? Do you mist the tortoises directly?

Yep, that's what I think too. Try misting first then more drastic measures if that doesn't work. But I am fairly certain that given the time of year and the usual lack of humidity that goes with it that you have a dryness issue.

It may not be. My humidity is usually closer to 90%. If misting isn't cutting it, I would try daily soaks.
