Why Can't My Dog Open His Left Eye?

My dog ran out of my house and God knows where he went. Then suddenly, he came back and I went to have a closer look at him only to realise that he cant open his left eye? Why is this so? Is this serious? :(

    This can be serious if he experienced a traumatic event that resulted in the rupture of his globe (eyeball).  It would be best to have him examined by a veterinarian to thoroughly examine the eye and surrounding structures.  Medication can then be prescribed and may include topical eye medication, pain medication, and anti-inflammatories.  His oral cavity should also be examined.
