Is your substrate maybe too dry and irritating his eye?

I think you bathed it before which settled it down didn't you? Try what you did before again and if it's no better get some drops from the vet.

mine tend to get watery eyes if the enclosure isnt misted enough. It can get dusty regardless of what substrate you use so just give it a spray with water every morning to keep dust down. Did bathing him improve it at all?
