Left eye closed shut

My veiled chameleon that I got last Friday keeps his left eye closed most of the day. I misted him and he opened it for a while but he closed it again. I don't know what it could be

Also I'm worried because i haven't seen him eat yet, he's a juvenile so you would think he would eat everything I have been feeding him meal worms and dusting them with zoomed repticalcium with d3
 
Usually I keep the humidity between 70-80 after the mist it gets to be like 90
I have a reptifogger that runs all day so it keeps up the humidity while I'm at school and work
 
When his eye is closed he doesn't move or anything

Hello and welcome to the forums to the OP and Kowston.

If the OP could fill this out it would help ALOT
https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/
We will be able to get a feel for how you take care of your cham and any issues we might see with your general husbandry and care.

Eye closures can be a number of issues, dehydration being the first larger option, there may also be a vit A deficiency or some issues arise if you have a night light on him, or the wrong lights during the day, there could also be an infection in his eye/sinus or (if he shed recently) could be shed in is eye, or substrate (if you use it) or any other large particles. Like I said if you fill the form out it will help loads.

To get a feel for eye issues here is a thread started by myself when I had issues,and it may provide some insight.

I hope you get this problem solved soon and take care of it early on.

@Kowston please start your own thread with the how to ask for help in there, as your problems may not be the same as the OP's
