Can Treated Rattlesnake Bite Cause Blob In Eye?

My husband was trimming slash off trees on a hill and was bitten by a rattlesnake--through his upper lip. He was able to spit the venom and blood out of his mouth (God is awesome). About a month later he noticed a "blob" in his eye that moved but won't go away. He wouldn't call it a floater--he has them and they are different. We have been to doctors at the VA and they can't find anything causing this or even what the problem is. We are curious--could the snakebite have anything to do with this?
