Eye infection???!?!!?

[Yoyotort]

So one of my Russian Tortoises eyes is often shut it looks a little swollen but not much and not red he can open it and does mostly when eating it looks completely normal when open there is no goop or anything around his eye. It has been that way starting yesterday so not long should I see how it is in a day or too or call a vet? Or is there anything I could put on it I have made sure not to touch it (obviously) but right now I’m not sure what to do here’s a pic

Also that is how both his eyes normally look when closed and always have and he is just as active and acting normal eating find etc.. if that helps at all

Zoo Med Turtle Eye Drops have excellent reviews and works almost as good as a prescription. Also what is your substrate becuase the wrong kinds can cause eye irritation. Please post photos and Welcome!

What are you using for lights? If you are using a coiled bulb, that could be what is causing the eye problem.

Oh I didn’t know that. I’ll look in to that and see what I have
