Chameleon eyes closed

[Bibinoria]

hello,
I bought my chameleon on march 29th, 2017 and he was fine until a week ago that both of his eyes are closed. I don't know why, the humidity in his habitat is at 80% I feed him everyday live crickets we only handle him once a day for about 10mins max. it started with only one eye now is both of them. I have notice that when he opens them a little bit I see a clear kind off tissue inside the eyes not sure if that's a bad sign and he is blind now?. I have been giving him baths 3 times a day for 15 to 25mins every day. if there Is anything else I can do please let me know . Today I tried feeding him by hand because he cant see his food and he only ate two he didn't want to eat anymore .

What do you mean by baths? Handling for 10 mins a day is quite a lot for a chameleon remember that they like as little handling as possible, all depending on personality and their comfort around you. Even if your cham seems not to mind all that stress could take a toll on their little bodies
