Default Crusted eyes in elderly hamster

Hello! Our elderly syrian boy of 2 years 6 months keeps having crusted eyes recently. It looks like sleep in his eye - Ralph is sleeping a lot nowadays. I wondered what's the best method to help with this. I did a search and could see saline was recommended. Is this still the case as the posts were a couple of years old. If saline is suggested -do you dilute? I'm a first time hamster owner so not really sure what to do! Ralph was checked by a vet recently and they weren't really sure but we're able to open his eyes (I don't want to hurt him by prodding about). Thanks for your help. I hope with more hamster experience I can contribute to posts!
