Question
about three weeks ago i notice my water dragon had a scratch on its eye, i also have been noticing that he fights at his reflection so i assumed that that is where its coming from and it would heal on its own. It hasn't healed yet and is swollen shut what should i do?

Answer
 There may have been enough of a scratch to cause infection.  Have him checked by a vet to make sure there is no other foreign matter continuing to irritate the eye, and treat for infection, you should get the proper medication to continue to treat the eye and how to properly dose him.
