He is cleaning his eyes... They do this normally with water... They rotate the eye to clean it and it balloons out like this. Then goes back to normal.

Thanks you so much @Beman! One more question cuz he lost so many shots with his tonque...i try to explain now.
when I give him the dubia he comes and focuses to eating it. but most of the time where he is ready to stick out his tongue to grab it he makes a movement as he does not see it suddenly. and I wonder if this extra skin around his eyes(the side near to nose-its like have some extra skin)( when he tries to center the dubia or crickets and brings his eyes forward) makes him look double (like diplopia) whenever he does not know where to focus.and im curius if this happened to chameleon cuz of this "extra skin" around their eyes.cant explain it better.
 
@Beman on this photo(found it on internet)seems that who i describe above doesnt exist(marked with red)mine chameleon in these points have some extra skin.(2nd photo is mine)

Are you using the supplements the way you are supposed to? missed shots and the original eye issue can both be linked to supplements. So what is your schedule and exactly what are you using now?

Every day(whenever he eats) calcium without d3 and every 15 days calcium with d3.

Watch these vids.so if he had eyes problem ehat can i do? Is there any solution?




So his targeting is not perfect. BUT please do not feed him this way. He is ingesting quite a bit of soil which is an impaction issue.

Now this boy is very overweight as well. Also you were giving him just the reptivite with D3 before correct? Too much D3 and vitamin A can cause all sorts of issues. This could be linked to why he is not targeting perfectly. It can take a good 8 weeks to pull the excess supplements from the tissues.

His casque width looks very large in the video... are the pics of his eyes when you spray him recent because it looks ok there. Since this thread is from 2021 can you tell me when you actually changed the supplementation? NO I am not suggesting not supplementing. I just need details to figure out what the issue may be. Something in the husbandry is off if he is not targeting correctly.

Ok so lets do updated pics of him and the enclosure lights down and if you can fill out the husbandry review as well for me again. I just want to go back over everything.
