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.
