Do my Chameleons eyes look healthy?

Maybe i’m just paranoid because i’m a new chameleon owner, but I know that a good sign of dehydration is sunken eyes. I’m not quite sure what is considered sunken as I have only seen extreme cases. I have seen him drink before and his urates are nearly pure white. Are his eyes normal or do i need to start ensuring that he drinks water?

They don't really seem that sunken in. What's the humidity of the enclosure? I would recommend that you get some live plants, because Veiled's are known to sometimes bite leaves.

I keep the humidity around 60-70% during the day. I have also been working on setting up some lives plants when my budget allows it. He has constant access to drinking water from his dripper and i mist about 3 times a day.
 
Humidity is a bit high for a veiled during the day... Should be more 30-50%. Are you doing something to increase your humidity level?
Eyes look good. As long as the urates are mostly white then he is hydrated.

The humidity is naturally pretty high due to my location at about 45%. The only thing I do that increases it is misting.
 
For me, I was surprised that my little guy's eye turrets were so small compared to a full grown adult male. I was worried at first but then I realized they are just that small compared to adults! He's definitely growing and his eyes are with him!
