Update: took him to the vet Saturday. The vet said it appears to be proptosed, and likely needs enucleation surgery. I'm not sure I'm comfortable putting a 25gram 2 month old tortoise through anesthesia. Doing ofloxacin eye drops for now. Just a wait and see at this point. He is on metacam for pain, and seems to have perked up a bit since being on pain meds.

I removed the topsoil from both of my hermann's enclosures and did mulch with reptichip on top. Here's a picture.
Hope with change of substrate and eye wash you can get back to normal state.
