eye concern?

So i made a free range to go outside my girls cage to entice her out more and she was out on it today on the top and was exploring and she actually for the first time had fed 3 silkworms from me so i am very excited about that! i think it was all about the free range she was getting out and still felt safe so i think we are starting to build more trust but my concern was i noticed her going to sleep and then when i walked in and it woke her up she opened her eyes and ate another worm and then shortly after she closed only one of her eyes and was looking at me with the other. now i might just be overacting because its just about sleep time for her anyways just the light was about 5 mins before going off. it wasn't like she couldn't open it she opened it shortly after and started staring at me like dude let me sleep so i left her alone on her free range with access to her cage is she decides to go in which i dont think she will but thats fine with me. I did not see any gunk on her eyes or anything . maybe im just over reacting but wanted to make sure im not missing something here. here is a new pic of her cage with the free range. please ignore the 2 holes in the wall as my stud finder lied to me lol.

Well if it's five minutes to lights out and she was originally closing both eyes, I wouldn't be super worried, just watch for anything worrisome tomorrow. My chameleons starts falling asleep anywhere between 1 hour-30 minutes before lights out. Depends what happened that day etc.
 
I do believe one eye open and one eye closed can be a sign of a vitamin A deficiency. That would be my only concern. You said there was nothing in her eye.
 
Nice free range!! I like your idea, I have a hook already in my ceiling near my guys cage. I might take a couple notes from your setup if you don't mind. As far as your cham, probably nothing to worry about.
 
go ahead i got this idea from @jannb ! i love it and i think she does too. but i use repashy now for her suppliments and i have never seen it before only just now and it was fro maybe 30 seconds.

This is true, but it was also close to her bedtime, so I wouldn't rush to do anything yet.
