Weird eye, is this ok?

[Sammygc88]

I brought a chameleon from someone online. I was so excited that I didn't notice his eye was strange. Also they always feed him worms from a cup and when I feed him crickets that are loose in his cage his aim is really bad. I don't know if this has to do with his eye.

Was this after you misted, has it gone back or is it still like that.

My jacksonii jlhas a swelling in front of his eye, he can't hunt wel either, as they use both eyes to aim if one eye is not in his usual position aim will be off. I had my Jax on medication without luck, I'm bringing him in for surgery tomorrow.

So in short, this isn't normal, you should take him to a vet to have it checked out, he can't look sraight forward to well like that.

Next time you buy of someone check their husbandry, if it's not sounding right to you don't purchase. It's noble to offer a better home or 'rescue' but sadly it will more often than not bring a lot of vet bills down the road.
