Panther chamelon eye trouble

[Acreighton]

I have a panther chamelon who suddenly has been closing his eye and it has been really sunken in. Then he would open it and it would still be sunken it but still not be right. He is still eating fine and doing his normal activities but he seems to be having eye trouble

Does anyone know what this could be?

I’m no expert but throwing out: parasites (casque looks thin but could be angle) have you had a fecal done recently?

Supplements? What are your supplements and schedule? Pics of containers are good to see exact if you can.

Lighting? What lights are you using?

Filling out the above form gives the best info but these things just stuck out to me in other incidents I have seen.

Welcome to the forum!!! Sorry you’re having trouble with you handsome guy. Hopefully someone here can help.

I almost say vet visit is best but hopefully the experts chime in .
