Hi, and thanks for your question.
That is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to an infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well.

    It looks like there has been some damage to the conjunctiva or outer eyelid, this could become infected so I would head to the vet to get it checked out and obtain any necessary meds. It's always a good idea to have eyes checked because they are so sensitive.
