My female chameleons eye has a bump. What home remedies can I do for now?

My female chameleon has a bump on her eye. What home remedies can I do for now? I posted pictures below. Please be respectful and thank you for any help or information you can give us.
We have loved her for 9 months and we noticed thus bump on her eye.

It looks like build up a vet will have to flush out, honestly. Perhaps a keratin plug, or shed skin that go stuck in her eye.
My chameleon has a chronic eye problem/birth defect that predisposes him to build up like this.
I, personally, never had any luck with repta-rinse saline eye drops, but it may be due to my guy's problem being more complicated...
If this is relatively new, it probably is something that can be fixed with a professional flushing. Though, there's no way of telling if it will be recurring problem. I assume it's currently difficult for you to see someone about it, so keeping an eye on her behavior, the physical state of the eye (ie; does it leak, does it crust over) in the meantime is important. If there is discharge, crusting, or swelling, I'd see someone about it sooner.

The other thing is, how is your vitamin supplementing schedule?
Sometimes eye issues may culminate as a result of improper supplementation, so that's also a thing to consider.

I appreciate your help. We do the herptavite once a week. Of course calcify their crickets at at every meal. And i read up on bee pollen. So we mashed up some bee pollen and been lightly dusting our crickets w bee pollen. We read thats their natural medicine out in the wild. She hasn't shredded in awhile. She was having problems with nasal buildup but I been watching her closely and removing that for her along w the bee pollen it has cleared up. This is the first time. She is gravid right now. Maybe a week or so we noticed. Thank you for your help

You’ve gotten some great help already. I just want to add that bee pollen has (anecdotally) caused problems in veileds. Some have gotten gular edema and one of mine had gotten an intermittent puffy eye, which went away as soon as I stopped the pollen. While it is super healthy and something they surely get in the wild, somehow in captivity it doesn’t do so great for them. I do mix a pinch of bee pollen in when I am making Repashy Bug Burger, but I only give that to my insects maybe once every couple of weeks or so as a supplement to their diet.
Btw, I need to address your supplements. This can be confusing (at least it is how I say it), so I’ll try to keep it simple. At every feeding you should be lightly dusting with a phosphorus-free calcium without D3. You say you are using Herptivite weekly - how often are you giving D3? A much better and simpler way is to use a combination multivitamin and D3 product, which is used one feeding every other week/twice a month. The best products are Repashy calcium plus LoD or Reptivite with D3.
In case you are interested in knowing…there are two forms of vitamin A - proformed (carotenes) and preformed (retinoids). Proformed is from vegetable matter and is water soluble and it hasn’t been proven if chameleons are able to fully utilize this form. Preformed is from animal matter and fat soluble and has been proven to be used by chameleons. Because it is fat soluble, jwe use caution when giving just as we do with vitamin D3 (which is also fat soluble) as it is not quickly eliminated in the body and can build up to toxic levels. Both the Repashy and ReptiVite contain preformed vitamin A, whereas most other supplements use proformed.
I think I’ve probably confused you enough for now. I do have to ask though - do you have any other questions or anything to do with her egg laying? Does she have a lay bin yet? Just in case, here’s my blog about our sweet ladies and their egg laying. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/

Ah, one of our star players is here. Skittles is very knowledgeable.
To add on, if it will help, here is an image I threw together of a schedule. It's helpful, too, to have an actual calendar or phone notification to keep track.
