This is very concerning, it could be an ulcer trying to rupture or a foreign body (something that shouldn’t be there. I would consider this a medical emergency and take him to an emergency vet clinic now for evaluation and treatment. After examination, they will probably need to do a few special tests on the eye to determine the best possible treatment.
