I agree his eyes do look a little strange. It is like the eyeball is not in the middle of the hole. Don't think this has anything to do with the eyes but your basking temp is only 76? That is way too cool. You should have that temp at around 90 degrees. You said he is 8 months old...how long have you had him. You did not state that.
