Sunken eye

Hi my jackson`s cham which is about 9 months old has had a sunken eye since the day I got him which he sometimes keeps closed...I have heard that I might have been dehydration or stress as in fact I have had him for 3 weeks only and when I got him he was very dark due to the transportation (came in a very small plastic container with no room where to move) he has progressed and his colour has become brighter and eats fine too ...his eye pops out into place when misting and he sometimes scratches it against a branch but it then pops back in deeper ..any help ?....anyone!!
