since he was stressed he was probably trying very hard to find a way to avoid you. im sure the eye is okay, but just keep an eye on it and vet if the issue doesn't correct itself. ive seen many threads like this over the years but your photo def. stands out to me.
you can see examples of this in my snakes below (zooming in helps) tho they're not as extreme as your photo:
EDIT: also interesting to note that in most of these photos, their tongues are out and i know they were stressed with me messing with them for photos. they're all looking around and trying to find an escape route. idk just my $0.02
