I would avoid using distilled water, it is devoid of nutrients, minerals, and salts and will readily absorb these from the environment which in turn means your frog gets less of those nutrients. For many years I have used water that I bring to a boil for 30 minutes then allow to cool open overnight (I do 10 gallons at a time) when it is cooled I treat it with aquarium conditioner and have never had a problem. If you are worried about bacteria, you can mix 1-3ml of 3% peroxide for every gallon of water, but wait a couple hours before putting it in your enclosure (this is also great to reduce mold and algae growth).
A periodic luke-warm bath goes a long way for frogs or any other amphibian or reptile, it helps them relax and can assist in passing waste.
It is not uncommon for frogs to go off feed for periods of time, as long as they are not showing visible signs of stress or weight loss, it is not really a concern. I feed primarily night crawlers with the occasional other insects and rare pinky. My old frog used to slow down in the winter and eat less often, he could be harassed into eating by rubbing the worm on his lower lip, but after a couple years and more experience I learned that "force feeding" was probably unnecessarily stressing the frog and I stopped. For several years he only at a couple times between October and March, but once it got a little warmer he would eat like a champ.
As for the eye, I would consider putting him in a "sterile" enclosure for a little while with paper towel substrate and water, you can scrunch up the towel so he can nestle into it. I would just use a plastic shoe box. Give him a bath, feed him, and let him stay in the shoe box till he has defecated a couple times (clean up after each time obviously, and change out the towel). You may find that he just got a little something in his eye, if it isn't looking better after a couple days to a week, consider talking to a vet. It looks like he is just not opening his eye all the way, in which case it is likely something agitating it.
Make sure the frog is in total darkness at night and quiet, then mild lighting during the day. Pacman frogs are not active diurnal predators, they sit on muddy banks under cover and ambush prey, they don't like attention and the really don't like bright light. I have a lit tank and a lot of live plants to provide shade and cover.
