Lepard geckos eye

Question
QUESTION: My lepard gecko's eye is really swollen and it looks like it is really watery. It only one eye but im kinda worried can you tell me whats wrong??

ANSWER: Hello Remona,

Did your gecko have any trouble shedding his eye possibly?  Sometimes retained shed will cause swelling of the eye.  Is he opening it at all, or just leaving it closed?
What are the temperatures in the tank?  Do you use sand substrate or carpet?
Maybe you could post a picture of him for me?
You can get some sterile saline solution to help wash his eye out daily.  There is also an antibiotic eye ointment called Terramycin that you could get also, to help clear up any infection that he may have.  You can get that from here:

Let me know how he is doing.  Is he eating very well right now?

QUESTION: Hey thanks for responding...I can't really tell you if she had any trouble shedding her eye I didn't see her do it the last time. She leaves her eye open but its super cloudy and the whole side of her face is swollen. I have no clue what the temperature is should I know that? There is sand in her tank. Where could I get this sterile saline from?

P.S she is eating fine and still behaves normally.

Answer
Hello Remona,

Hm, the entire side of her face is swollen?  She needs antibiotics then, as she has an infection.  If you cannot get her to a vet, I highly recommend getting some antibiotic for her.  She might have gotten some sand in the eye which got irritated then infected.
That is not good her entire side of her face is swollen so we need to get that cleared up as soon as possible.  
Here is a link to get some Baytril:

As soon as you get it, let me know & I will dose it for your gecko.  I will just need her weight.
The saline solution for her eyes should be easily found at any drug store in the pharmacy area with the eye drops, etc.  

Maybe you should change out that sand also, to paper towels to decrease any dust or debris in the air.
