Question
QUESTION: My little sister has a baby bearded dragon named moochie at home. Recently, however, moochie has been ill and has come into my care. I've researched different kinds of beardie diseases and illnesses. I've changed his lights and modified his diet, and even his water. Every time he gets a little better he relapses and becomes worse. Now that I got him moving around and shedding right, his eyes began to leak so I cleaned them out the next day the leaking began,when I cleaned out his eyes it appeared he didn't have them anymore, they were just sockets. I think he's suffering and I need your help in deciding whether or not it's time to take him to the vet and end it. And if not then what else can I do to help save this little guy.

ANSWER: Yes, you need to take him to a veterinarian.  It's possible that there's simply a lot of swelling and his eyes are probably still there underneath it all, deep in the sockets.

This animal needs professional treatment to have a hope of survival.  You need to find out what's actually wrong with him (apart from the obvious eye infection, which the vet can also treat).

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: I had a vet look at him previously before his eyes went bad and recommended the changes to his diet and instructed me on his care. Is it possible that what he has could be a new infection or just a worsening of vitamin A toxicity.

Answer
I would be guessing that it would be an infection, from your description.  Antibiotic eye ointment would be used to treat it.  

Diet should be:  Mixed leafy greens (mustard, collards, dandelion, turnip greens) with a little grated squash, carrot, and green bean.  Dust lightly with calcium powder.
Gut-load crickets for 24 hours on fish food or commercial gut-load formula, then dust them with calcium/D3 powder, and offer as many as the dragon will eat in 15 minutes (remove the rest).  Do this at least 2 or 3 times per day!  Crickets should be no larger than the space between the dragon's eyes.  Occasional mealworms, wax worms, butterworms, and silk worms can be added for variety.

Once a week, use a reptile multi-vitamin powder on the insects, instead of calcium, for one feeding.

Water:  Tap water is perfectly fine.  Offer in small shallow dish, and keep it clean.  Spray the greens lightly with water before feeding them, as dragons get most of their moisture from their food.

If the vet said something radically different about diet...find a different vet.  (The reality is, there is no Veterinary Specialist category for reptiles at this time--veterinarians have general animal knowledge, but must self-teach most of the reptile medicine they learn, and can't become certified reptile specialists.  As a result, the knowledge level of reptile vets can vary from phenomenal to almost as bad as asking the pet store guy.  If you go to www.ARAV.org you can check to see if there are any vets near you who are keeping up on reptile medicine as they should).
