The eyes appear normal to me however, the photos are not the best. It looks like normal pigmentation of the third eyelid in the left eye. With the right eye, it looks like you are referring to some darker spots on the iris under the pupil? Those may be normal but it could also be a sign of an underlying disease. I don't think it's an emergency but I would suggest you get Remington to your vet in the next couple weeks to have her eyes examined with an ophthalmoscope. Your vet will be able to give you a better idea of what is going on. Hope this helps.
