A turtle cold can progress to pneumonia, which is far more dangerous, so treat it promptly and watch for pneumonia signs.

Causes and Treatment of Turtle White-Eye Disease
White-eye disease is feared by turtle keepers; it mainly comes from poor water quality or weak immunity and should be caught early. Internal causes are frail constitution (hatchlings, poor husbandry, genetics); external causes are overcrowding and fouled, alkaline water. Mild cases soak in saline or nitrofurazone; severe cases need antibiotic soaks plus eye ointment; eye erosion needs vitamin B and oxytetracycline soaks. Act in spring and autumn when it peaks.
