How long does it take for my chameleon’s eyes to open after they’ve been flushed?

Hey everyone! I took my boy Waldo to the vet and got his eyes flushed. He had an eye infection in both eyes and I just wanted to know how long it will be until his eyes open back up

Could you post some photos, please? One of my previous chams had to get his eyes flushed, and they were open immediately.

IMHO they should be open immediately too. I'm not a vet just saying what I think from experience, etc.

The eye in the 2nd pic doesn’t look right. Is like there’s something in it. Is your vet experienced with chameleons?

Yes my vet is experienced with chameleon care. I’m not sure if this has anything to do with how his eye looks but they prescribed eye drops for both his eyes and an oral antibiotic.

Also I want to add that before I was able to take him to the vet his eye was starting to fill with fluid

Well, I hope your handsome little man recovers quickly.
