I havent kept any waterdragons in years but sounds like he is having a bad shed or something in his eyes. Was are the parameters of the tank? Substrate? Size? Temp? Humidity? How old he is? That kind of stuff. The more info the better someone might be able to help.

Why are so you concerned with mites?

 

[reptilecrazy666]

The water dragon I used to work with would dunk her snout in her water dish to try to get shed off, which sounds very similar to what yours is doing. Why did you jump to the conclusion of mites?
