I have a similar routine.

A vet visit wouldnt hurt to rule out infection, something stuck in the eye, that sort of thing. And if the vet suggests preformed vitamin A, well a controlled dose based on weight as directed by the vet would be okay. I've never personally given preformed A direct to my panther chameleons. But I do also offer a wide variety of insects, well gutloaded.

Calcium (generally without D3) should be on every cricket, in my opinion, as crickets are naturally low in calcium vs higher phosphorous. Need to balance it out. Gutloading can only add so much calcium.
With other insects supplementation with calcium may not always be necessary.
D3 supplementation may also not be necessary, at least not often, if you're chameleon gets adequate UVB.
