Just noticed this. I had a look at him and his eye looks a little red and you can see it's a little weepy as he has some stuck to his hair under his eye. The other one looks fine. I am wondering if he maybe poked himself in the eye or something as he is acting perfectly normal. Eating, drinking and snoozing.
Just kind of wanted to double check with everyone really

Ouch! I do think that looks sore. I would take him to the vets as soon as possible. My Amelia Jane had some hay in her eye. I got it out but she had to have eye drops as it scratched her eye.
 
Just wanted to add his eye lids are naturally that kind of pinkish colour, the dark freckles are naturally there too. Here are some better pictures with better lighting, including the other eye which seems perfectly fine for comparison

Good eye

As you can see the bad eye is more 'wet' then the other and to me the inner corner of his eye (closest to his nose) looks slightly redder then normal, to me anyway. I will keep an eye on him. I can't do anything until at least Friday. But will keep it clean with warm water if need be until then :/
