Answer These two symptoms may or may not be related. Did the vet go over your general husbandry (diet, lighting, heat, substrate, supplements) Do you use sand? All these things help rule out possible causes. Did you call the vet back when the eye appeared worse? What medicine did he give you? Was he a qualified reptile veterinarian? I'd be more than happy to help, even call on veterinarian friends for you, but before that I would need to know the following:
Size of Tank
Substrate - What do you have on the floor of the tank
UVB Light - Brand and wattage, how far away it is from the basking spot
Bright Light - Brand and wattage
Food - What insects and what gutload for them
Salad - Every green and veggie
Pelleted Food - Brand
Water/Misting/bathes
Supplements - What kind of vitamins and calcium, brand
Temperature of basking area and cool end
What kind of thermometer do you use?
Beardie - Age, sex, was he/she bought from a breeder or a pet shop? How long has he/she been with you. Eating? Pooping?
Furniture - caves, branches
