If you want to open the eyes of a Brazilian turtle with white eyes, you cannot do it directly, because there are usually a lot of secretions in its eyes, and opening them directly may cause damage to the eyes. It is recommended that the owner wipe the turtle's eyes with a cotton swab dipped in physiological saline every day to clean up the secretions, then gently open the turtle's eyes and instill eye drops.

The reasons why Brazilian turtles get white eyes

1. If the water is not changed for a long time, dust floats on the water. When the turtle raises its head, the dust on the water enters the eyes, causing harm to the turtle and people. Likewise, the eyes are a very fragile place.

2. Feed oily food. The water temperature is low. After putting the food into the water, oil will float on the water. When the turtle raises its head, the oil will enter the turtle's eyes.

3. Poor feeding and nutrition may cause the turtle to become weak over time.

4. The breeding space is small and there are many turtles. Eye injuries caused by turtle fighting may lead to infection if not detected in time.
