It could be an eye injury or some other kind of illness. If you are in doubt, then it is a good idea to take him/her to a qualified exotics vet for an exam.

If the eye is tearing up, he might have just hurt it a little, and he should be fine in a few hours to a day. If he keeps his eye closed for more than two days, you should see a vet, because he might have damaged it.
