Vincent is very handsome! It is hard to say by the pictures but it looks like he has an infection around his eye. I recommend taking him to a vet so they can get a closer look. They may want to stain the globe to make sure he hasn't scratched the cornea then they can get him on a medication to heal the area. Good luck and kisses to Vincent!
