Hi sorry i dont understand what you mean by this? "Heat source uth overhead during winter" dose that mean that u thave a heat mat ontop of the cage or that you have a heat mat and lights as extra for the winter?

I add a heat light during winter but its been a few months since i needed them

So do your geckos have any heat at all during the summer? How are your cage temps getting to 92? How are you measuring the temperatures?

The cloudy eye could be due to a layer of shed stuck on it. I would begin by soaking him in a closed tupperware with a half inch of 95 degree water for 10-20 minutes. You can do this once or twice a day until you get him to the vet and/or the cloudiness disappears.

No they all have under tank heating year round just in the winter my room is the coldest in the house so i add the heating lights.

Sorry I didn't see it in your original post. How are you measuring your temperatures in the tank?

I like to keep the cool side of my tanks in the 70s - about room temperature. This gradient allows the gecko to thermoregulate as they need to. 84 isn't quite cool enough for them to do this properly.
