It's possible the eye may be infected or injured. Moving Lola to a hospital cage that is kept warm and with easy access to food and water can help and can prevent your other bird from picking on her while she heals. You can also use a warm washcloth to remove any debris from the eye and help it to open. If the eye doesn't open back up after a day, you see discharge, a visible injury, or Lola is showing other signs of illness, bringing her to a vet ASAP is best for care.
