Current Problem - my chameleon is rubing his eye against the glas in the terarium or branches on plants. This is a longer lasting problem. I have tried a long misting several times already. I have visited a vet and he tried to wash everything out of his eye with a solution. Nothing really helped. His vision is ok. I have a feeling that the problem lies in his eyedome, its kinda hardened if you compare it to the other one, and he cant even close it well. And i have seen him sneeze two times, and once he was shahing like when you are cold. He is not having the eye closed, it does not look inflamed, the only thing you can see is thet that particular eye end the dome around it is a bit larger, and has worser skin colors and paterns (like less visible) on it. You can see the bad eye on the first picture, and the good one on pictures 3 and 4. And his both eyes have like sacks of skin below them. You can see it well on the pictures. He did not have them when he was younger.
