Eye problems

Thanks for the picture.

The red bulb should go also. You want a white light for a basking bulb. That should help a lot too.

is that the coil shining outward so its directly in his eyes? like I said I would shut it off take him outside till you can get it replaced--- I am thinking this is causing the eye issues but later on down the road its gonna cause more

Please get rid of the red bulb--- you need a bright white basking bulb for basking- it's gonna be trial and error for bulb--- next you can get a ceramic heat emitter or che they have 75 watt bulbs and 100 watt bulbs- you will need a dome w/ a socket- they produce heat NO LIGHT-- make sure you have a infrared heat gun or / and digital probe to get actual basking temps- probe you can get for $5 at pet smart or petco- infrared gun from your local home improvement stores for around $10-12--- you can shop at Amazon for heat emitter bulbs- I am thinking between the red bulb and coil he was getting double whammy for eye issues-- please get rid of both of those bulbs

Got rid of both. I have extra bulbs, I'll have to see what they are. ( have another lizard so I have a couple extra bulbs ) I have the ceramic bulb for him tho.

Ok great! Was just trying to rule out any possible substrate or sand in the eyes

I know you already gave us details on your lighting, but could you perhaps post a picture of the setup so we could see it? The coils did tend to cause eye issues a few years back but that issue was remedied more or less. Now they would only theoretically cause eye issues if they were too close or the dragon was making direct line of sight with it.
Still, they aren't sufficient for dragons so changing it out is still the best idea
