I have an 8 month panther chameleon that has his eyes closed. He will open them a little bit but this happened the other day. He ate yesterday and had water.

You can do better than that, if you don’t take that form seriously neither will anyone else.

You need to be much more specific. For example, what brand of calcium? What brand of lights? Is the UVB linear or is it compact? Exactly how much do you feed and how often? What are you gutloading your insects with? How long do you mist for?
Go back and read the how to ask for help form again... You left out a ton of very important details, which are of the utmost importance to your chameleon's health
