they can sometimes get things stuck behind their eyes.
We took our cat to the vet once and it had a growing grass seed stuck under its eye lid, must have felt awful for the poor puss

I'd have to say to take him to the vet as soon as possible. That doesnt seem like its normal, and if osmething is in his eye the vet can probably remove it (which may be vetter since the equipment will be steril).

*Edit* (to the comment): Depends on where you go. Where I'm from? ABout a 100. But it varies from state and the area in the state. Call before you go to get a rough number, or ask for the newer vets they have for a cheaper prive. Goodluck with everything!
