Had the same problem.. Bought a "Furminator". This tool is AMAZING!!! It's expensive. I paid $40 for it in Petco. I see it now on EBAY from $9 to -$12 brand new. You will love the Furminator for just more than rump hairs. It will cut your shedding down 90%.
Just buy some cotton balls if you don't already have them. Boil a pot of water and, of course, let it cool completely. Dip a clean cotton ball into the sterilized water and simply clean his eye with it. Do this about 4 times a day. Keep the water sterile by either covering it, or re-boiling...
