There could be more shed or your gecko may have gotten an eye infection. It's important to promptly remove shed for that reason and not allow it to remain stuck too long. I would say continue humidity treatments and soaks to see if the eye will clear out. You can also buy some pure saline eye drops to gently flush the eye. If it does not improve within a week or starts looking worse, you should see a vet for medication.

Some clear pictures of they eyes would also help us figure out if it is a skin cap or an infection :) But otherwise, the below advice is very sound, and should be followed.
