Eyelid rolled in?

Hi everyone,

So i've got a problem with my bunny, Archie's an old rabbit (which I got from the RSPCA, they said they only knew that he was an adult, however he has lately developed cataracts and slowed down in his activity which suggests that he is now an old man).

He has recently had his eyes tested of which there was very little response in them, and I have just been to see him and one eye had a slight discharge to it. I looked at his eyelid, which has started to roll inwards and must be causing some discomfort to him as he doesn't like me touching it much.

Has anybody else had this problem?
How is it resolved?
Does anybody know what causes this in rabbits?
Does anyone know how much a vet would roughly cost to fix this?

Thanks all :)
 
Sounds like he needs to see a vet,if his eyelid is rolling inwards his eyelashes will be scatching the eyeball,very irritating and painful.,vets bills varysadly so maybe phone one and ask them.
