Sperm plugs. nothing to worry about - these are supposed to be expelled.
Also the urate colour suggests he may be dehydrated.

Well he is sick not eating and lost weight. I have been feeding him everyday with a seringe i put crickets and worms together with some vitamins and made a shake sort of thing. He dosent open his eyes and thats why i beleive he dosent eat. I cant force the food in him but i try to get him mad so he can open his mouth and thats when i put the liquid food in... I have hope he is going to get better

What kind of lighting has been use for UVA, basking? Or is he keep outdoors. I've never seen a cham with eye condition like in pics.
He gets natural day light in the afternoons from my balcony (this is were he lives). i live in Miami and temperatures can get a little high in the afternoons...
but since he cant see he hasnt been able to drink any water...Just now i was able to give him some water with the seringe....how much water should they consume on a daily basis?

Have you thought about taking to a Vet.?
There's alot of variables that come into play. I would guess best way of delivering water to him would be in form of a misting system at this point. Allowing small droplets to form from above, to hopefully stimulate him to drink. But not too much water: can lead to URI. I think a Miami summer can do some serious damage to a cham confined to a cage. I'd move him indoors. Not living in Miami, I have do idea how much natural rainfall your guy might be receiving. Forcing food and water on him only adds to the stress he's going through. Once dehydrated, animal is far more likly to stop eating, until he gets the body liguids up.
