Dry eyes? Please help!!

Get yourself a loom to look into/at his eyes. I have a red stripe male that has chronic bad sheds. Upon inspecting his eyes after I place a moist towel over them to unstick them I find he usually has some form of irrtant in it. I use peatmoss as a hide box substrate and I think he rubs his face and get some in his eyes. I wipe out the goop and no more problems. I do keep his hide moister than most to help him shed and it seems to have reduced the issues. Good Luck

MrLeoGecko,
I know your geckos are well cared for, I've seen pictures to that extent, and I know you posted with the intent to help and I thank you for your sentiment, however I'm not fond of thinking about my gecko dying and you knew that video had no information about what caused the illness. The suggestion about the infection was helpful but the lack of any further info in the video was not much appreciated. No sarcasm, but please don't post this video while trying to help other gecko owners, if it makes Stopper Exotics cry (who presumably has no ill geckos, heaven forbid) I don't know how you thought it would make me feel. I really do hope in your haste to help you forgot my emotions, if not I would urge you to be a bit more considerate. I will continue to check for shed and any sort of eye excretions. My vet tech/pre vet friend (he's not the best at reptiles but he means well) will be able to get me some of the "sample" eye drops to try and clear up whatever it is. Additionally, what is a loom and where might I get when once I have money? I'll keep you all posted.

Apologies, I did not mean to put your name up like that, separated from the rest of my paragraph, it seems argumentative, but it isn't in the least.

As of now, the dry eyes are almost entirely gone. However, I should probably make a new thread for the new issues I've found with this little girl. So here it is:http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?p=499092#post499092
I'll keep posting her with info about her eye. Also it's only the left one now that seems affected.
