Chameleon squinting eye(s)

I just got a chameleon and he is very small. (probably too small to even be sold). He is a little bit smaller then my pinky. He is a triceros hoehnelli. I feed him multiple crickets a day and I mist down his cage and I put a humidifier in his cage. He keeps squinting either one or both of his eyes and I don’t know what it means. One time I was feeding him water droplets from a syringe and a droplet hit his eye. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it but he seems fine other then that

I don't recommend using anything but a linear t 5ho bulb setup. The cfl bulbs were one causing eye issues in reptiles such as blindness and burns. The issues of the bulbs have been fixed but a lot of the bad ones still are in circulation. I'm not saying that is the issue, but I would definitely change to a linear bulb.
