Do you notice him going after his food, missing when he strikes, bumping into things in the tank?

somtimes he misses but i think thats because he was to slow he doesnt move much to bump into things he just kinda sits there

i'm not an expert but i don't think he's blind.. my beardie is the laziest n quite often he won't respond to my hand movements either, if he doesn't see you as a threat and is used to you being around there's not really much reason for him to respond to your movements.. if he can chase down and catch food i think its unlikely his eyesight has failed.. if you're worried about him being ill, maybe get fecal done by a vet?

i think your right just one other thing not sure if anyone else has this but our lizard wont poo in his cage only if we take him out and put him into water other wise he will go days without pooing?

yeah, corinthian's the same too.. i think some of them just don't like to stink up their tanks and realise if they dont go your gonna put them in the bath to do it.. sometimes he goes the minute he touches the water, as though he's been hanging on for his bath... they can be smart wee beasties when they wanna be!
