Is something wrong with her eye?

[BigDogThe1st]

I just got my veiled chameleon on Thursday. She is an adorable little girl. I noticed yesterday that she was rubbing her eye on the stem on my pothos plant. This morning when I fed her I saw her doing it again. I have yet to see her drink but she pooped yesterday and she has already eaten 3 crickets in front of means know that she has eaten more then that. She is still very wary of my and puts on stressed colors when ever I stick my hand in to spray down the cage. She also closes her right eye(the one she is rubbing) few a few second every once and a while. It looks like a slow 2-10 second blink. Pics:http://imgur.com/a/dEWHN

Looks like she's rubbing her eye. She may have some sort of irritant causing discomfort. The Cham in my avatar was doing something similar and we tried antibiotics both oral and eye drops. What finally cleared it up was a long session in the shower with water being finely sprayed towards the top of the enclosure sure. My vet told me that chams are able to rinse out their eyes when they get enough moisture to do it. Is he eating?

Yes she has eaten 3 crickets right in front of me and am sure that she has eaten more when I was not looking. I have not seen her drink yet but she is eating and popping well. If she does it anymore I will put her in the shower

How are you misting the cage? If she accidentally was sprayed in the eye it may be irritated.

I'm having the same problem with my 6 month old veiled chameleon, I'm going to give her a shower today

I always spray just in the spot where she is not sitting. I did spray through the top because I know that they like to have it like rainfall. I really hope that whatever happened was not my fault because it would make me so sad if I caused this pain to her

could just be a shed coming on.... what are your temps and humidity like?
if its very dry, they can have a hard time shedding... hence the rubbing.
