With your thorough observations and diligent work on their habitat, I am going venture to say you will soon find all your turtles doing well and none relapsing Like you, I had a sickly turtle and taking care of that turtle forced me to learn things that I may not have learned as quickly. The only thing I can think of that might have an effect on their eyes is the proximity of the Zoomed light. The usual recommended height is about 12 to 16 inches from the turtles, especially if the lights are new and producing the maximum amount of UVB and UVA rays.

Other suggestions are, don't over medicate or over supplement with Vit A and vary the diet a bit more. My ornates like cooked sweet potatoes, summer and winter squash, mulberries, romaine, sweet red grapes, tomatoes, crickets, June bugs and their larva.

A picture can be added by making a gallery account on Kingsnake and uploading pics there. Then there will be an option of attaching pics to your posts that are located on the picture account.
