Hello Arthur and Merlin, Henry and I hope that you are both feeling better now.
I haven't come across a sticky hamster eye yet but plenty of sticky eyes in elderly humans. Bathing with a cotton pad dipped in warm (boiled) water may help the stickiness but my guess is that its simply an old age thing that should go away by itself. You know yourself when its time for a vet visit in case Arthur develops an eye infection but if it doesn't get any worse i'd wait and see.
