Poor girl. It is very lkely Lucy has a corneal scratch or ulcer on her eye due to trauma or some chemical (Shampoo's are commonly the culprt) setting on her eye. I would highly recommend taking her in to your vet right away for an eye exam, test for a corneal ulcer, and then prescription eye medication to hopefully get this to heal quickly. The longer you wait on eye conditions, the increased chance of permanent damage to the eye, so its best to take her in today if possible. You can apply a cold compress on her eye for 5-10 minutes now to help with some of the discomfort and inflammation until you can get her in to be seen by your vet. I hope that your pet Lucy is able to make a full and speedy recovery from her eye injury, poor girl. Best wishes and take care!
