Leopard Gecko eye problem!

My leopard gecko has one eye that looks completely black and actually kind of flat compared to the other eye. She also keeps licking it. I have no idea what it could be. Any ideas? Thanks!

Do you have pics avail,? It could be a bad shed, infection, damage from something in the tank. Pics will help with his environmental stats.

She has never had a problem shedding as long as I have had her. Now the eye just looks very cloudy and I am sure she can't see out of it.

Then I would plan on a trip to the vet. It could be a shed issue that became infecteed. Leo's are tough but once an infection sets in they can flip pretty quickly. Good Luck

Pics would be really the best to clearly identify whats happening. Vet trip would be the best before it gets more infected and lead to permanent damage of the eye or death.
