Without being able to see what the film looks like, it's hard to say what this might be. Obi may have allergies, an eye infection, or some other type of eye problem such as corneal dystrophy or anterior uveitis. I would recommend having his eyes checked by a vet as soon as you are able to - he/she can do a complete ophthalmic exam and may also do some testing if needed to help determine the problem and see what needs to be done to treat it.
