baby chameleon closed both eyes please help!!!

[sennaxqz]

Hii! im a new chameleon owner and im trying my hardest to give my baby the best care.
moving forward as to why i need help asap!! he didnt eat a lot the first few days we had him, its now been 2 weeks since weve got him and hes eating better now, he eats around 6-10 crickets.
but since 2 days one of his eyes has been closed and he opens it rarely, mostly just to look for the crickets.
since today i noticed that both his eyes were closed, even while trying to get crickets or climb, did i do something wrong? do i take him to a vet?
pictures are from yesterday when his eyes opened for a few minutes

this is his enclosure at the moment, i had the lamp outside of the mesh but got told that can be dangerous since the heat might melt it.
UVB lamp sits on top since that doesnt get very hot, the plant is a monstera
temp is around 30-33 in the day and at night its 20-24, humidity is between 60-70%

and i got given a reptile calcium powder i have to sprinkle over his bugs

So the calcium powder is all you use to dust on the insects? If you’ve only had the chameleon for a couple of weeks, the supplements you’ve been using, shouldn’t have anything to do with the eyes…but I think you should let us do a husbandry review…
Here’s the link to it…just answer the questions with as much detail as possible please.
