what's wrong with this dove? (swollen eyes)

Found this dove last night on my balcony and he stayed in the same place all the night, in the morning when I looked at him I know something is not alright. If you take a closer look at his eyes you can see are fully swollen. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AgecY4M1WKAEj5nMrFwc9E89LftIbpCi/view?usp=drivesdk

He seems to be weaken, if I touch him he doesn't try to fly or something.

Is there any way I can help him?

I don’t have advice but pigeons.biz is also a good place to post. They’ve helped me before. Are there any avian vets near you?
