It is difficult to tell what might be going on in the picture - it looks like Jagger’s cornea might have pigment on it or that his pupil is much larger on one side. The eyes certainly do look different and I think it would be best to have a vet examine his eyes in person to determine what might be going on.

Based on the photos of Leo, it does not appear like a typical glaucoma. Glaucoma usually presents with a bluish hue on the cornea and the sclera (the white part) usually looks very red. There's a possibility that the photo is not showing me everything so if the doctor wants to test for glaucoma, move forward with testing. I would be worried about an infection in the eye. Depending on where you live, fungal infections are possible. Neoplasia is also a possibility. I would recommend to try to get into the vet earlier if possible. There's also a potential that you may need a referral to an ophthalmologist. I hope everything turns out alright.
