This can be due to allergies, irritation to the eye, or an infection. However if it's just seen in the morning and her eyes are not red swollen, or otherwise abnormal in appearance, then this can be normally seen. In order to tell for sure if this is a problem, a vet would need to examine the eye. If this problem is recent, or has gotten worse, then it would be best to have a vet evaluate her. If this is something that has always happened, then it's more likely to be normal. I hope that helps and all is well with Pearl.
