I would have Sunny seen by a vet immediately. It could be that he has an eye infection, suffering an injury to his eyes, or allergies causing him to rub his eyes. I would be concerned that he may stretch his eyes with his claws while rubbing them, and that could lead to damage to his eye. The vet can diagnose what is causing Sunny to rub his eyes and can treat him for it.
