swollen eyes

[italian chameleon]

Hi
I noticed that my cham's eyes are slightly swollen, he doesn't close his eyes during the day and he behaves normally (hunting drinking etc..)
He is shedding right now and I'm misting him a lot more than usual, could it be that all the water I'm spraying is irritating his eyes?
I also noticed that the eyes seem ok during the day but they look like balloons when he sleeps at night
Should I take him to the vet?

here are a couple of pictures...

I agree to this, for me his eyes are just fine (but thats just me) wait till you hear some suggestions with some experts here in this forum im just a novice guy here. Hope everything ends well to you my friend.

I would be worried if they weren't "ballooning" out. It means he is well hydrated. If they were sunken in he would be dehydrated.

Don't mean to steal your thread but I just wanted to say when my guy sleeps his eyes go into his head sort of?? Is that normal? He's a VERY heavy sleeper.
