i think i know how to tell if just about anything is blinde. see if the pupils dialate, if they dont, then it is probably blinde in that eye, check both. to do this, bring it into the light then move it out. it should still be able to move her eyes like she is looking at stuff so you cant rely on movement. some medicines effect the way animals eat. she is probably full from the medicine and has no room to eat crickets. make sure your temps are good and she has a humid cold hide. tell your vet that shes not eating too. if you give your leo medicine with a surenge and drip it into her mouth try not feeding it to her that way, try injecting crickets and she should eat them right there infront of you. if you wait too long, they will die and she wont want to eat them. if you just apply the medicine i dont know what to tell you. good luck
