It sounds like your Bichon Frise is experiencing several concerning symptoms, including vomiting, shaking, holding his eye closed, and restlessness. These symptoms can be indicative of various issues, and it's important to monitor them closely.

Holding the eye closed can suggest discomfort or pain, possibly due to an eye infection, injury, or irritation. Vomiting and shaking can be signs of gastrointestinal distress, pain, or even neurological issues. Restlessness often accompanies discomfort or anxiety.

For the eye, you can gently check for any visible foreign objects or discharge. Avoid touching the eye directly, and do not apply any over-the-counter eye drops unless specifically advised by a veterinarian.

For vomiting, ensure your dog has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. You might consider withholding food for a short period (about 12 hours) to allow the stomach to settle, then reintroduce a bland diet like boiled chicken and rice in small amounts.

Shaking and restlessness can be signs of pain or discomfort. Make sure your dog is in a comfortable and quiet environment. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to seek veterinary attention to rule out any serious underlying conditions.

Given the combination of symptoms and your dog's age, it's important to monitor him closely. If the symptoms continue or you notice any new symptoms, I recommend consulting a veterinarian to ensure he receives the appropriate care.
