Damaged Eye (most likely NOT a retained eye cap)

[Penultimate]

Without bring able to lay hands on the animal it's hard to say...and unless you have a real knowledgeable reptile vet, you may find that a dead end.

When a snake damages it's living lens, the eye often scabs or crusts over in a way that looks somewhat like what your snake is showing. The crust is fluid from the unprotected eye hardening over.

However, I can't tell from the photos. Until the snake sheds again, I'd recommend putting him in as sterile environment as possible.

Ok, so if the problem is what you're describing, it would have to be some kind of injury, right? I'll definitely be giving that cage a good cleaning when I'm back at school on Monday. If the problem is what you think it may be (I understand it's pretty much impossible to say for sure based on pictures), would it heal with the next shed?
