Those are often referred to as "stress" lines.

Stress in beardies can be caused by a variety of things - the cage being too cold, them being bullied, them being scared of you walking past, general stress when they are moved into a new cage, seeing their reflections in glass, being dehydrated due to not enough veg in the diet, being hungry etc. Usually the only way to find out what is likely to have caused it to become stressed is to go through that list and rule things out one by one (e.g. take the beardie's temperature to check it's not that, keep it on its own to make sure it's not being bullied etc).

Good job on the original post as well Siman!

Also going to request this be added:

Alternate eye closing:


I remember becoming worried when i first noticed my beardie doing this, after discussion the issue was clear. Beardies have a "If i can't see you you can't see me!" mentality, so if they close an eye that's directly facing you but keep the other open, they basically are just hoping to be left alone or perhaps even hoping you don't go and disturb the comfy position they have just acquired.
