i would be very concerned and get her to a vet tomorrow or asap. my female just died tonight. she had multiple things wrong with her but before a day or 2 before she died she developed a lump on her eye to. i would go get it checked out. trust me its not fun loosing one. you dont realize how much they mean to you until they are gone so go get it checked and let me know what happens.

Is there any discharge from the eye? It could be several things...from an insect bite to a scratch, to an abscess. An experienced herp vet could take a close look with a scope to see if there is any visible damage to the eye itself, but an abscess will need cleaning out and probably a systemic antibiotic.
