Tis a puzzlement

Hi there cham fam.

Well, I am officially stumped. Paulie has been closing his left eye, only his left eye, in the mid to late afternoons. In the morning, it's wide open. In the evenings while he cruises to a sleeping spot, it's wide open. No issues targeting food. Appetite and feces is normal. Otherwise, behavior is totally normal; basking cruising, feisty as usual.
The vet saw no sign of injury, foreign object/debris or infection. We have ruled out respiratory infection and parasites. The vet did note that the left eye does not seem to fill the turret as completely as the other eye, but noted no other concerns. I changed the UVB lamp about 3 months ago. Same type of bulb, same fixture, same placement. Vet had no concerns of issues with supplementation. Basically we are stumped and so is our very knowledgeable vet. Anyone have thoughts here? I'm adding pictures for context. I'm completely at a loss.

Can you post a few more pics of him so I can see overall body condition? And a few of the cage from lighting down? Are you using any red lighting?
