We can't possibly help without more information on his care....the exact brand of lighting (UV and basking), temperatures, humidity levels, what you are feeding him and what you gutload the insects with. Also what supplement dusts you are using (specific brands) and how often. It may be quicker to take him to a vet experienced with reptiles. Most ordinary vets won't be much help unfortunately.

Okay , thank you so much . i kept temperature between 26-31 C , night time kinda low . I'm using 75W baking for him and spray at least 2 times a day. I feed him cricket, three days ago i feed him crickets with calcium powder .

Defiantly need vet , I'm very new to chameleons . I would say you're not watering enough . You might want to fill out the ask for help . There's so many great keepers here . Good luck .

When chameleons have food a intake that is low in vitamin A they are at risk for all kinds of issues including eye infections! Too much vitamin A in their diet can also be bad! Now that he has a problem you should really get him to a vet!
