"My Leopradgeckos eye just one of them is like a ghosty blue and the other is perfectly normal. I don't know what to do, like if its a build-up of his shed or something else."

Thanks for reaching out about Leo. A retained shed can result in a cloudy eye but also a few disease situations such as squamous metaplasia due to vitamin A deficiency and secondary infections. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Ophthalmic antibiotics or anti-inflammatories could improved the condition. Good luck.
