Oh no, poor Belle! She could have allergies, but she could also have an eye infection. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would have Belle seen by a vet today to have her eye examined, diagnosed, and treated.
