These are the pictures of my Veiled Chameleon. My Veiled Chameleon always afraid of me. But when I got closer than its right eye. It don't move. Then I got my hands closer to its left side it will scream. So what I worried about is does my Veiled Chameleon's eye have problem or blind?????? Will she die?

what brand AND type of uv bulb do you use? (linear or compact?) and fill out the form on the top of the health forum for better help.
Some compacts have been causing eye problems...

The most commonly recommended light to use is the long linear fluorescent tube Repti-sun 5.0....I would recommend changing to it to see if there is any improvement.

So are you taking out the compact uv light? You REALLY should NOW, and order a linear 5.0 reptisun and your veiled with be okay without uv for a couple days.
here's a good price on a 5.0
http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...por-bulbs/-/zoo-med-24-repti-sun-50-uvb-bulb/
you need a fixture that uses 18 or 24 inch bulbs and then order the size uv light that matches your fixture.
