Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to getting the product in the eye. It could also be due to an eye injury of some sort like a corneal injury for instance or a corneal ulcer. If this continues, Luna should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
