Really can't think of anything, and research comes up with nothing, the jury has determined that dented eyes are mainly a sign of dehydration (baring any injury).
You say that his eye gets like this only after he sheds, so all I can think of is that knowing how much humidity that they need to help them shed, because the area in question was previously scabbed, it may be that that area dries out more after the shed?
Might try keeping the humidity up after shed and see if it goes away? *just to determine if it is a lack of humdity (not the surrounding humidity, but his eye) that could be causing it to dent after shed.

I am pretty sure he is saying his eye gets like that during shed not after it.

Hit It Right On The Money JDS3.
Its Only During Shed That This Happens I Dont Know What It Is But Im Sure Its Not Because Of A Humidity Problem Because i Dont Have One. Humidity Alway Stays In The 70s When Not in Shed And In The Low 80s When In Shed.

well you said he had a scar there right. So maybe its just something that happens where the scar is when a layer of skin is ready to come off. I doubt it has to do with hydration if it is fine just after he sheds. Also you are saying the humidity is good so its probably just something that happens. If it starts to happen on both eyes then it could be humidity or dehydration but I think he is fine. Although I am no expert so I could be totally wrong.

I Was Thinking The Same Thing, Maybe Its Just Because Of The Old Scars....Hmm I Dont Know Im A Lill Stumped Ill Have To Contact My Local Vet.
Oh BTW It Dose Happen In Both Eyes But Only Were The Scabs Were. A Verry Small Dent on The Left Eye And A Large Dent on The Right Eye On The Exact Location And Roughly The Same Size Of The Scabs.
To Tell You The Truth I Really Dont Think Its A Dehydration Problem Because His Sheds Come off Really Nice All The Time But Just like You Said Im No Expert So I Will Contact One On Monday Morning I Could Call Her Tomorrow But i Dont Want to Bother Her At Her Home With Such A Minor Problem.
I Thank You All For Your input, Time And Tips! Will Let You Guys/Gals Know What She Says.
If Anybody Else Knows Anything Or Has Any other Info Please Reply!
Thanks A Bunch To All,
David

Mistype..I meant to say during. Nevertheless, my advice stands. It has nothing to do with overall humdity, just humidity in that particular spot is what I am inferring (it may need more moisture in that spot).
Regardless, good luck hope you find the cause.

The problem is not so complex. I have a female bp that had been chewed up  (not during her time with me); she has recovered nicely. However, in the spots where the scar tissue is, during shed those spots need higher humidity, so I have given her a bowl in which she soaks to help her with those dry spots.

Im glad i found this topic, just today i was holding maximus and i see his left eye has a dent, hes not going into shed and up to a light it does not seem translucent. Im going to bump the humidity to see if that helps the problem i got so mad when i saw it because ive been paying very close attention to him lately, so it had to have happened recently. I hope its just humidity and hes alright....

I Didnt See This Deb!
Yeah So I found Out That Mr. Cleo Has Really Bad Vision(Worst Than Normal) Thanks To The Scars And His Dents Are In fact Because His Eyes Need More Humidity Even At 80% I Still Get Dented Eyes.....I Just Hope He Dosnt Go Blind Because Of This.

Try Bumping Humidity And Like Deb Said Get A Large Water Bowl So You Ball Could Soak.
