When my beardie was having some eye problems, I spoke to my vet, and she suggested getting him some kind of saline solution. I went to the pet store and picked him up some Zoo Med Repti-Turtle Drops. Although I'm not sure if they have the same thing in the UK, it's worth a try. I used it on my beardie, because the only ingredients in there are saline solution, vitamin A, and vitamin B12. After using those drops once a day for about a week, I started noticing a difference right away. My little guy had been opening his eyes a lot more, and now he rarely closes them (unless he's sleepy or blinking, of course!)

Hello,

Did you get an Arcadia D3 12% tube bulb correct?
I recommend turning the new UVB light off for a few days, since the Reptiglo 10 tube bulb had irritated the eyes. I think that she is probably just having ill effects still from the previous light & her eyes are still sensitive.
You can get some turtle eye wash or some sterile saline solution to flush the eyes out daily, to help with any irritation or redness she might have right now.
How is her appetite doing?
Do you have the UVB light placed directly beside the basking light?

I hope your beardie feels better soon !

Hello Olivia,

Great, let me know how she is doing. The eyes should begin to improve shortly. I think that she just needs a short break from UVB to let her eyes heal up. The bad lighting really does make them very sensitive for awhile.
I am happy that you got some eye drops for her, too. I hope she is feeling better soon!
