Possible eye infection

[AxelsMum]

My chameleon Axel just finished a body molt minus his head. He usually starts molting on his face a week or two after a full body shed. His eye seems to be bugging him for the past two days I was wondering if this could be normal behavior due to the fact that his eyes might start shedding soon. It seems to have a redish pocket in the lower part of the eye. Any suggestions on what this looks like? We have high humidity down by the beach in San Diego right now and he has a fogger on during the day plus I mist him a few times a day especially when he's molting.

Also, his other eye is perfectly heathly looking

There was a recent debate on here about the use of eye drops for turtles(I believe) that most pet stores sell. It does look a bit inflamed but as for the cause I'm not sure. I'd recommend searching "possible eye infection" and read posts from very experienced owners. Many have used the drops with no problem....

Looks like a vet visit to me. Are you talking about the grey baggy area under the eye itself?
