The more i think of it, maybe its an irritant that's gotten under the eyelid. Maybe the eco-earth. How do I wash it out... hmmm.
Need to take frog to a herp vet. Eye issue could be mechanical or caused by a bacteria. Can you post pics of eyes? What is your location? Maybe someone can recommend vet in your area.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
