Watery eye

Hello! Last night i noticed that there was a drop of water directly on my chams eye. His eye didnt look closed all the way. Today, the eye looks watery and when he blinks, his eye doesnt close all the way. He has recently shed, and was rubbing his head on his vines. Looking at the eye it almost looks like its not working. Im very concerned. Not sure what it could be or if its something that'll just pass. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Just some info on my guy:
He is an 8 mo old male panther cham. I have had him for 4 months, and handle him about once a week. Diet mainly consists of 10-12 medium gut-loaded crickets daily, but i also sparingly give him butter worms, and super worms as treats. I mist him 4x a day for about 5 min each time. He gets Zoomed repticalcium without d3 every other day and zoomed rep calc w/ d3 once a month. He also gets zoomed reptivite once a week. Feces is normal- brownish with white urate. He is in a 16x16x30 reptibreeze screened terrarium with fake vines and plants, but there are two live ficus in there as well. Temp ranges from 75-80 (F), basking ranges from 85-90. We live in Connecticut, US.

Thank you for any info!

I would use calcium without d3 every day, and reptivite 2 times a month. I believe reptivite has d3 in it. Does yours? It it does you do not need calcium with d3. Could you also post a better picture? The one I think is not very clear
 
I guess he had some kind of film, or a piece of skin left over in his eye. I gave him a heavy missing just now, and whatever was covering his eye fell off and it looks okay. This is him right now.

Thank you for the d3/vita tip. Saves me from buying calc w/ d3.

Ok it might have been just excess skin, just make sure to watch it. Yes if your vitamin has d3 (make sure it does) you do not need calcium with d3. Just use the multivitamin 2 times a month and calcium without d3 every feeding
 
According to the picture,ur cham has been misted as u can see all the water drops on his body,when u mist him maybe the water got into his eyes,since u do mist him 4 times a day,if the watery eye is bothering him,try mist his body n tail only,other than that misting are usually great for ur cham.

Thank you! Looks like it was just excess skin that had gotten wet when he was misted and stuck to his eye. Since it fell off, No more watery eye!
