Old age? Or something else

hi I have a 3 1/2 year old panther
Is this classed as old age now
He has become quite lazy lately
Is is because he is old do you think
He is still eating and drinking fine and he poops once a week, which is healthy
He likes to bask under the heat spot or when he gets too warm he moves to a cooler spot
He used to want to come out everyday when I get in from work, but now he only does this once a week.
His colours are fine and he is a good weight
He did have a vitamin A deficiency when I got him a year and half ago, but with regular vet treatments he got over that.
From that he did get an eye problem and the vet did investigation on him which included a small cut on the eyelid, since then he does seem a little blind in that eye and misses his food so I hand feed him.
So just wondering should I be concerned that he is not very active or is this normal for an older fellow.
Thanks guys
 
I wouldn't say 3 and a half is very old. Middle age yes. At the forums we have seen panther chameleons as old as 9. A generic lifespan of a healthy chameleon would last around 7 years
