Missing eye??

I got lizzy last year and was told she was “handicapped” due to a missing eye, I was told she was born like this but after looking more into it I’ve been told it’s more likely her bigger siblings probably had something to do with it? Has anyone ever seen something similar to this? Is it possible she can still see from the eye?

Poor girl-- does she chase her insects? I am seeing loose substrate in her tank I would remove that if she can't see she's not going to avoid eating it--- please get some textured NON adhesive shelf liner-- cut to the size of the tank and clean w/ vinegar / water solution 50/50-- what are you feeding her? And please go over her basking temps and how are you taking them? You need a digital probe thermometer and UVB? What are you using a coil or tube?

Put down reptile carpet instead of those shavings. Theres a possibility that she can see out of that eye but would not be very well at all.
