My best advice would be to make the drive to a vet. I'm nearly positive that a pin through the eye isn't a do it yourself fix. I'm sorry to hear about the poor skink. Please keep us updated

The eye has stopped oozing.
The eye seems normal And there is no blood.
I think i will leave it be for the time being and if his condition gets worse within the next half hour. i will make the trip.

Call the vet and see what their recommendation is for this situation. No one on here is qualified to tell you what the course of treatment should be.
Hope your bluey heals just fine.

The fluid lost is probably the aqueous humor.
I guess the question is, what would you do it if was your eye?

X2 what el lobo said
If theres a hole in the eye theres likely damage,if i had a pin in my eye id be straight to hospital
Waiting to see if theres any probs often leads to a worse prob down the track making medicating more intense

Vet.
Ooze or no ooze there is a huge risk of damage and an even bigger risk of infection.
