Without seeing the eyes myself it is hard to say what the problem could be. She is 15 years old so there are many diseases of the eyes that could be happening. You can try this ophthalmic gel in the eyes once to twice a day to see if it helps but really, she should see a vet. I understand times are hard but you can't let her suffer. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-antimicrobial-pet-ophthalmic-gel There are some low cost clinics in your area. I think you should try to get her in for an exam. Also, there are some organizations that can help with veterinary costs. https://www.mdspca.org/veterinary-care/wellness-clinic/ https://bmorehumane.org/adopt/surrender-2/financial-issues-veterinary-costs-food-etc/
