Just give him a bath or something. It will come off.

I agree give him a quick dip and it should wash right off.

He can wipe it off himself with his antennae. You don't have to give him a bath.

If he's not wiping it off that maybe means he doesnt know its there. mine would never leave sand on thier eye. if it was on the black part of his eye or the stalk he should be cleanin it himself

Yeah the baths generally work the best. It's funny because they'll just walk around with sand on their eyes and I'm just like (I have a touch of OCD) "how can you do that??? Can you see? Get that off!"
