Lucy could have something in her eye causing her squint, or her eye may be sensitive to light. I would have this checked out by a vet in the morning, as any eye problem should be checked out promptly. Leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Given that she is sneezing a lot, it could be a respiratory infection causing the issues with her eye as well. The vet can diagnose what is going on, and can treat her for it. Best of luck.
