Thanks for reaching out about Lemon. Eye infections are common in geckos and can have many etiologies. Vitamin A deficiencies can lead to a condition termed squamous metaplasia, which can predispose to infections. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Correcting the diet is just one need, but ophthalmic or systemic antibiotics could also be beneficial. Good luck.
