It looks like Chelsea's third eyelid is elevated on the left side, which often is a sign that the cornea underneath is irritated. There are some other eye diseases or neurologic diseases that could cause this as well. I would recommend taking her to your veterinarian so they can look for a scratch on the surface of the cornea.
