It sounds as Uzi is suffering from an eye infection, it is relatively common in guinea pigs. you will need to take him to the vet the first chance you get, the vet will check the eyes to make sure there is no damage or foreign body in it, if it is indeed a simple eye infection your vet will prescribe an antibiotic eye drops that will probably solve the problem in no time.
