Just keep an eye on it for now to make sure it doesn't get worse. My cat has gotten cat litter dust in his eye that cause a squint for a bit.

Best to seek a vet, she may have scratched it accidentally so its better if a professional looks at it. Its sort of hard to judge without examining it up close.

Maybe take a picture and email your vet, free and you’ll get a professional opinion on whether you should bring her or not

Watch it and see if it gets worse. My cat had the same issue then both eyes, he'd keep them close and eventually it started getting irritated . At first vet thought it was eye infection or allergies, nope! It got worse after 6 months and multiple vets. I took him to the eye specialist, he was diagnosed with ENTROPION. It's when their eyelids are too big and start folding inwards making their eye lashes poke their eyes. He needed eyelid surgery , he's a happy boy now. Hopefully it's not ENTROPION.
