Bearded dragon bulging eyes for over 3 years, multiple vets to no avail (Super experienced vets appreciated)

Can you post the bloodwork? If you don't have it, your vet should be more than willing to send you a copy of it. After all, you paid for it.

I'll go back to Park animal hospital and ask them to do a new workup, any recommendations on what to ask for in the test specifically? I refuse to go back to Aloha animal hospital or Lone mountain animal hospital because I believe they contributed to my beautiful baby MeKoos death.

Hello,

If you have a copy of the blood test that would be great.
The basking light sounds fine, if it's not a Reveal natural daylight which has a bluish tinted
coating of neodymium. Bright white lighting is best. Oh I see the Zoomed basking, that will
be fine for him.
Are the basking temperatures good also?
If the size has remained the same & seemingly are not changing then, it may be the genetic
morph of Frog eyes as it is called but I cannot be sure on that one.
Can he eat without too much trouble then?

Ive seen Kugmo and mekoo on social media before I'm so shocked to hear she passed away. I'm so sorry for your loss. Zeros are more prone to those kinds of conditions I hear. She was such a gorgeous girl.

I remember seeing kugmos eyes and wondered if it was a condition or he was just an old man or something, I've seen some older beardids with older beardie health issues resulting in the eye bulg but if his labs are all normal then maybe it is a genetic thing. I hope he's okay

They're standard Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamps with no coating.

That is a good bulb so that ruled that out--

Hello,

How are things going, is he still basking
normally & eating?
Please post a copy of the blood test if you
are able to get a copy of it, thanks.

He's been like this for 3 or 4 years now, the part that makes me sad is that he has trouble seeing, he can still catch his worms but it takes many tries so my wife and I mainly hand-feed him, he's a spoiled little emperor lol

Here are some videos of him trying to eat, although he's always gone crazy for bananas if we open one across the room he can smell it and starts licking like crazy haha

He is such a little cutie, absolutely precious.

Hello,

OH so sweet though. I am sorry that he has so much trouble, but he has you to help
him out. I wonder if the size or the swelling from around the eye orbit causes pressure
on the nerve causing vision trouble.
I am glad he doesn't give up.

My 2 beardie's eyes are the same. both about a year now. No one can answer me as to why they are big like they are. Everything with their lights and UVB are dead on, so I have no idea why they are like this. I will follow to see if you come up with anything. Only thing we both have in common is living in the desert, I lived about an hour south of Vegas.
