My new leopard gecko has a closed, shrunken eye. What should I do?

Question

So, my mom got a new leopard gecko, and many of you probably won't know this answer, because it's really hard to become a reptile vet, and there isn't many. Anyways, we got him from this girl, I don't know why she gave him away or anything but her parents put him on the porch and told us to come get it. When we got him I noticed his left eye wasn't open. It kinda Looks shrunken...

Any new pet should be examined by a veterinarian within 72 hours of arriving home to confirm good health or to diagnose and treat any pre existing conditions. It is difficult to see clearly, but this gecko may have sustained infection or trauma to the eye. A physical exam should be done and treatment administered if indicated. He may need antibiotics, or nothing (hopefully). Leopard geckos are great lizards and quite easy to care for. You can follow this link for more information: http://www.anapsid.org/leopardgek.html
