Ok that eye is just scary

Ok for a followup on my 0.1 beardie with the bad eye and parasites. Followup appointment with the vet shows that I got rid of the parasites, so yay. And she's also gained good weight. But he's honestly stumped about what's wrong with her eye...

I contacted the breeder and he said that they sometimes get sand in their eyes but it washes out. I don't think that's it either, I don't keep her on Sand, she's on paper towel and sand would have washed out by now. She got a bath and that should have rinsed out her eye too since she went ahead and dunked her head.

So I tried to snap some pics, but as she hardly ever opens it right away, I couldn't get the best ones

This is what she usually looks like, one eye closed:


But occassionally she'll open it, especially if I ONLY stand on the blind spot, she'll open it and look at me with the bad eye, depending on the angle you stand at. Sometimes it looks like a black pit with no eye, other times it looks like a little gold ball with no pupil, sometimes it looks all black with no gold. It tears up if she keeps it open for long though...


But then today the WEIRDEST thing happenned. I had just fed them their lettuce and she was just sitting there. I was watching my male eat in his enclosure and I heard a *POP* just like in the pringles commercials...I look in her enclosure and her GOOD eye had popped out. I'm serious. It just popped and it looked like this guys: http://www.freakinasheville.com/NEWS...bug%20eyes.jpg

Then it popped right back in and was fine. She hadn't been straining at all, not pooping or anything. Does anyone know a reptile vet in Sudbury? Because I really want her looked at, I can deal with a half blind or even fully blind beardie, I don't mind, but I want to know that she's ok, which to me, she doesn't seem to be.

This is her good eye, after the popping ordeal, as you can see, back to normal:


I'm so lost, and so is my vet...ugh...
