Is there a deficiency, vitamin or otherwise, that may affect a bd's eyesight? i.e. aim and depth perception

They notoriously have poor depth perception and do often miss prey that is right in front of themselves however they have very keen eyesight for distance and can see birds and even airplanes above them But yes Vit A toxicity can cause eye damage, droopy eyes, swollen or puffy eyes.

Very poor depth perception. Some dragons are worse than others. Dexter needs to have her worm in a certain spot in front of her face before it catches her interest. If it moves a sliver out of that area, she doesn't want it LOL! Luci used to walk right off the dining room table because he didn't realize the floor was so far away!
