It sounds like Oliver is either having an allergic reaction or is beginning to get an eye infection. You could give him an over the counter antihistamine. Also make sure Oliver is not rubbing his eyes as this will make the condition worse. If they are remaining inflamed, I would take him into the veterinarian to get him checked out.
