If you have tried flushing the eye out with water and seen no results it's time to her to the vet. The eye could be infected, which could lead to loss of vision or removal of the eye completely. It's possible all she would need is some antibiotic drops and some TLC. Also, it could have just been scratched while she was relieving an itch. A vet would be your best bet in any case though.

Just for curiosity's sake.... Has there been any drainage or injury near the eye recently???

no nothing. Thats what is driving me insane! We have her on sand so I thought maybe she got some in her eye. She opened it for like a split second when I put her in the bath buit she is just sits in her tank with both eyes shut liek she is sleeping but this isnt right becasue she cant possibly sleep for a week straight!

eye

Did you ever find out what was wrong? I just bought a dragon and he closes his left eye a lot. The eye looks fine but it has me very worried.

Hello

Hello,

How is your dragon's eye doing today? You should switch out the sand in her tank because that could be keeping the eye irritated & it wont get any better if it keeps getting dust or particles in it.
Let us know how she is doing.

Hello

Hello,

I forgot one thing. What type of UVB light are you using? If you are using a coil or compact light they have been reported to be causing eye problems due to the way the UVB is projected out from them.
