Re: Is there something wrong with his eyes?
Looks ok to me, except not sure what the ringish looking thing is, maybe stuck shed/eyecaps? My normal has completely black eyes, where some morphs however, like my pastel, mojave, and bumblebee have different eyes. Lighter, not black, where you can see the pupil.

Re: Is there something wrong with his eyes?
Looks like retained eye caps...not a huge deal, just re-check your humidity and give him an extra misting next time he's about to shed, should come right off. It happens sometimes.

When I zoom in on the first picture it looks like there are cracks in his eyes, and that his iris isn't normal. I dunno.

Try raising the humidity a bit, and see if his eyes look a little more "normal"

The "cracks" in his eyes are stuck shed, not the end of the world. It's pretty common, an indicator that humidity may be a little low, and an easy fix.

Please remember that they very well may NOT be retained stuck caps. The living caps, which are required, can and do become dented, wrinkled, or cracked if the humidity is too low.
Don't mess with them. Just raise the humidity in the enclosure to a steady 60% and when you see the signs of the next shed, belly goes pink, eyes go dull, raise it even higher that week until the snake sheds. Around 70 to 75% to ensure a complete shed.
Add a humid hide if you need to. Then if they are stuck caps, they should come off with no problem.
