There's no alternative to catching him and having a look.   In this dry dusty weather he may simply have got some coarse dust in which is irritating the eyes.
It could be that he has entropion where the eyelashes are turned in and scrape on the eyeballs - although I would have thought that would appear younger - but I've not seen it so I don't really know.
 
For anything eyeball I use Orbenin ointment from the vet.  It's worth always having a tube to hand.  It heals many eye problems.
 
There are other possibilities but these are the two I would look for first.

Be quick with treatment in the form of Orbenin and posiibly L.A. AB's as it may just be the dreaded pinkeye!! It's a b*****d to shake off once it gets hold.

Yes, the dreaded Pinkeye - catch the lamb and get the ointment in quick.
