Just because you've got the most reputable bulb out there doesn't mean it's not defective. It could be malfunctioning and giving off too much (not sure about the science of that, though).

Swollen eyes can also be a result of vitamin A deficiency. Does he get carrots once a week? For immediate help you can try some cod liver oil and gently applying it to his eyes, or some repti-drops.
