eye sight problems with my bearded dragon

Question
Hi I have a 7 month old bearded dragon who has recently been showing problems with his depth perception. He cannot catch crickets, and when trying to eat vegetables out of a bowl he is completely aiming at nothing and i have to hand feed him. I spoke to someone at a local pet store and they said that I have been giving him too much vitamins on his crickets and vegetables. It was also suggested that I stop putting the vitamins on both the crickets and vegetables. Will his eyesight return to normal or is it too late, and is there anything else I can do to get him back to normal?
Thank you so much any answer will be greatly appreciated

Answer
Hi Tom:

I am sorry but I can't help you much.  I specialize in snakes but no one can help with a problem like this.  Long distance diagnosing of an illness by a Vet. is almost impossible and by a non medical person it is impossible.   Please take your pet to a reptile vet.  THAT IS THE ONLY THING TO DO.
