It looks like Skylar's third eyelid is elevated and irritated, and there is significant swelling of her eyelids. I would recommend seeing a veterinarian as soon as possible. She could have an infection of her eye or a scratch on the surface, or even a puncture of the eye if there is a large amount of watery fluid.
