Heya whats actually wrong with the eye? perhaps saline solution? my beardy had a mouth wound inflicted by his brother and saline fixed it right up.. Good luck and i hope he's ok!

its either just a buildup of stuff or shes copped a claw to the eye from her companion i think

Does it look like there is any puss at all or is it just watery?

just watery from what i can see.

Likely a scratch then, or possibly a viral infection. Irrigate it with saline and a vet check wouldn't hurt as it is at a higher risk of a subsequent bacterial infection if it is indeed scratched.
