There is really several things that could be causing this, you are going to need to consult a vet. Does it by chance look like the leo has mites? Is it both eye's that are affected or just one?
Also, its great that it is eating, but beware that leo's tend to become addicted to wax worms and may not want to return to crickets or meal worms? Wax worms would not be a food source that represented 100% of their diet.
Also, make sure the leo is not around any other leo's for now....
