    Well, the enclosure temperature is too cold for that frog. All care sheets I find recommend 80-85F (27-29C) during day with around a 10F (6C) drop at night. Issues with keeping frogs too cold are chronic in nature and by the time symptoms do surface (edema, etc,) there is permanent damage to kidneys and lymph hearts. Luckily can correct that before it becomes an issue.

    Frogs in captivity need supplements and a rich varied diet to remain healthy. Otherwise they just survive until they get sick or worse. Recommend add to frog's diet Canadian Night Crawlers (not dyed from local bait shop) and to gut load crickets with carrots, lettuce, and cherios 24-48 hours before feeding frog. Also, crickets should be no bigger than distance between the frog eyes. Do not forget use of supplements; more of that in here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html.

    You can give the frog a bath in 10% unflavored baby electrolyte solution and 90% 27C dechlorinated tap in the evening for 20 min. Use a small critter keeper or plastic cup with holed up top for that filled to frogs chin's depth. Cover with towel to reduce stress and keep warmth in. Afterwards, release in enclosure and try feeding it.

    Since it's not clear what is issue around eyes; my recommendation is to find a local herp veterinary and take frog to it. The provided information will help frog get nutrients and improve it's immune system; but that is not a replacement for proper veterinary care. Good luck !
