From looking at the picture it looks ok. But without doing an exam I cannot say for sure since you can see different things when you look at the eye from different angles and with the ophthalmoscope. There looks to be a small cyst on the bottom eye lid but it doesn't seem to be bothering the eye itself. If the eye has been causing her problems and you would like to give us more details please write in the forum again or set up a consult. I hope this helps!
