Can you tell if he can see out that eye? Does he blink it when you move your hand towards it quickly?
I don't know what it could be. The eye looks normal except for that line.
If it doesn't seem to bother him, I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep watch of it for any changes.

You have to upload to YouTube first then share here. I have never done a video so not sure of the exact way.

Wait and see what @Yvonne G says. I have never had to deal with eye problems. I believe she has.

It could not be irritated from the lighting you are using could it? Coiled type fluorescent bulbs and Mercury Vapor Bulbs hurt their eyes. If you are using either of those types, get rid of them ASAP and change over to a straight tube fluorescent bulb for the needed UV.

If you are able to get it, this is my recommended eye drop for this type of situation: https://www.vetrxdirect.com/product...o8rjEPZYqL2q4ciyfAUCBJhjqbm-SjBv-cWDc5D7yLDwc

If you can't get the Neo-Poly-Dex I linked above, this would be my next choice: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7BTWEN/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

If you can't get either one of the above, just leave it and hope that there is nothing really wrong with the eye.

Try to obtain an Arcadia straight tube fluoresent bulb. Here is one which comes with a fixture to hold the bulb:

Arcadia® ProT5 UVB Kit 24"

ProT5 is a highly adaptable lighting kit with high quality internal electronics, a high effective but removable reflector, power cable, fittings kit & bulb

I would get the 12% one for most tortoises.

You need to get lighting asap. He needs to bask at temps that reach 95-100 to properly be able to digest his food and keep things inside moving. Get this quickly or you will have bigger problems
A tube florescent for uvb arcadia is a better one. Ceramic heat emitters to keep the enclosure at a range of 75-80 during the day and can drop to 70 at night. These lights and heat are needed yesterday.
