My chem did that for several days. After about a week to a week in a half it became infected and I had to treat it with antibiotics.

Here is the forum I started a week ago. https://www.chameleonforums.com/one-eye-closed-35998/

Update: My chameleon still won't open his eye, even with rinsing a couple times a day. He eats just fine and acts completely normal otherwise.

Thanks enigmacell and reptoman. It's nice actually hearing from people that experienced this instead of people speculating.

Thanks, where you using the long tube style light or the coil bulb? I feed him today and he is eating good.

He just said to keep an eye on him for the next couple days and keep flushing it. If it's not better soon I'll probably go get a second opinion somewhere else.

I took him to the vet today just to make sure nothing serious was wrong with his eye. The vet rinsed his eye out and he kept it open after that. He said that there were no signs of infection or any scratches that he could see. Well on the way home (I had him covered cause it's cold here) he fell...

Well I flushed his eye out with water and he finally opened it completely for maybe a total of 5 minutes and now it's back to being closed. His eye looked completely normal. I did not see any signs of infection.

Alright thanks guys.

So you guys just think it's something in it? Should I take him to the vet tomorrow?

Sterile is just a term used for meaning that it has never touched human hands and that it is free from any contaminates. Yeah there are salt mixtures: .9 NS and also .45 NS but there is also just pure sterile water. I would have used a more accurate term if I knew we were going into details...

Yeah sterile saline is just pure clean water. :)

I don't have any sterile normal saline here but I work in the hospital so I could get it and a syringe tomorrow.

Nope, he doesn't open past what you see in the pic.
