I recommend flushing the eye with sterile saline eye wash or cooled boiled water, occasionally objects or stray hairs can become trapped on the surface of the eye causing such patterns. If it does rinse off then yes, you should see a vet straight away as french bulldogs are prone to painful corneal ulcers which can result in significant pain, discomfort and scarring if left untreated
