Leo Gecko Eye Issues

[KingGiztheLizWiz]

About your leo:
- Female until proven otherwise
- 6 monthsish 37.5g
- owned for 2 months
- Obtained at local reptile shop
A) Health/History
- handled Once a day
- Eye seems to be swollen with black lining, used cotton swab to see if it was stuck shed but I believe that is actually a part of her eye
- No previous problems
B) Fecals
- White with odd yellow
- Cleaned once a week
C) Problem
Was seen rubbing her eye against her hide and have now noticed it to look swollen and usually be closed. I have used saline eye drops which helps her open it a lot so it seems to be dry! The eye it’s self seems to be in good health, it’s the black lining around it!

Housing:
A) Enclosure
- 3ft
- Glass viv
- Paper towel
- 3 hides, one cool, one warm and one moist
B) Heating
- Heat May
- 33*c warm 24*c cool
- Thermostat
- Using multiple probes
- Lowest percent uvb bulb
C) Cage mates
Na
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- 4/6 meal worms and a morio worm every other day. I try to feed more if she is hungry but she seems to get full. Also treat her to some wax worms occasionally
- Hand fed one by one
B) Supplements (describe how often)
- Earth pro A every feeding
- Calcium every 2 feedings

I have also attached a photograph of her healthy eye for comparrison. There isn’t a reptile vet at my location either so I am extremely nervous

Any help would be much appreciated

To me it looks more like an abrasion on the eyelid as opposed to any problem with the eye. The black you're referring to is just the inside lining of the eye. Maybe the gecko got a scrape on the eye from rubbing it. It seems to me to make sense to wash it gently every day and keep an "eye" on it to make sure it doesn't get worse. It's likely to improve with time.
