Poor Gomez! From the picture, he has bletharitis- inflammation of the eyelid. I would recommend that you take him to a veterinarian. They will do an exam and try to find out the cause. They might do diagnostics such as cytology to see if infected. After that- they will give you meds that are safe for the eye area! Good Luck!
