Fluid in the eye of your gecko can be indicative of several conditions, ranging from an infection, such as conjunctivitis, to a more serious issue like glaucoma or even an injury to the eye.

If there's fluid in the eye, you can gently clean the eye with a sterile saline solution, which can be purchased at a pharmacy. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or cotton swab to carefully wipe away any discharge. Keep your gecko's environment clean, maintain proper humidity and temperature, and gently clean the eye with saline solution.

Since your gecko isn't currently on any medications and hasn't had previous medical conditions, it's less likely that the eye problem is related to an underlying systemic issue. However, without a history of vaccinations or flea and tick preventions, there's a possibility that your gecko could be more susceptible to infections.

If you notice any of the following additional symptoms, it would be necessary to seek professional help as soon as possible: a significant change in appetite or activity level, swelling around the eye that worsens or doesn't improve, the eye appears cloudy or there's a visible injury, or if the gecko is showing signs of pain such as vocalizing when the eye is touched or when moving.

Remember, while these steps may help alleviate minor issues, they are not a substitute for professional veterinary care, especially if the condition does not improve or worsens.
