Thanks for reaching out about Luigi. This could be an eye infection or trauma, such as a scratched cornea. Irrigating with sterile saline such as used for contact lenses might dislodge a foreign body but a veterinary visit is recommended. A veterinarian should be able to prescribe an ophthalmic antibiotic for infection, or other medications if needed. Good luck.
