Hello,
Although I've had a few chams throughout my life, I am no expert. Others here will most likely have more accurate answers for you, but I wanted to get you started. With that said:
First of all, low humidity may be a factor for a closed eye. Screen cages are a must for all chameleons, so if you have her in a tank I would suggest getting her a screen cage asap. Make sure she is provided with UV lighting during the daylight hours, and that her food is supplemented with vitamins and minerals.
These are just some BASIC husbandry requirements, so if these basic rules aren't being followed, the cham may suffer. A qualified vet would be able to give you the best treatment (this doesn't necessarily mean medication) for the eye issue.
I hope I have been a little helpful, and good luck with your cham!
