How can i fix my turtle's swollen eyes? I'm pretty sure it was from chlorine since i used tap water, but then i changed the water after about 6 or more hours when i noticed how my turtle itches his eyes and how his eyes became more swollen.

This is commonly due to a vitamin A deficiency. Feed foods high in vitamin A (the red or orange vegetables) and maintain pristine water quality. Use a powdered multivitamin regularly as well. You can also use Repti-Turtle Eye Drops ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zoo-med-repti-turtle-eye-drops ).
