Leopard gecko stuck eye shed has me freaking out

My 6 almost 7 year old leopard gecko. She had a bad shed on Sunday (I wasn't home for most of the weekend and came back after she shed). I noticed that her right eye was closed while the other was open, this has never happened before. I took her out of her tank and noticed she had a piece of stuck shed on her eye. I immediately put her in a container with wet paper towels and wet her repeatedly for about 20 min. I then got a q-tip, wet it with water and softly passed it over her closed eyelid. After I did that for about 10 min I got a pair of tweezers, held on to the very tip of the extra piece of shed that was protruding from her eye and it came right off. Since then she has been able to open that eye when she hunts or when I put her close to the light but other than that it is closed. There are no other secretions coming out, no crust, but her eye is a bit more watery than her other eye. Can anyone tell me something I can use to flush her eye(to get rid of some particles I might not be able to see clearly)? I sent an email to an exotic vet in my area to see if they tell me something I can do before taking her over if it turns out to be something more serious than just a little something irritating her eye.

If it's puffy at all or looks to be "tearing" much more than normal it might have gotten scratched by the skin and your method of removing it. Give it a few days and see how she reacts. If she's keeping it closed still after a few days, hit up the vet for some ointment. A little squeeze tube of it is like $30 if I remember correctly. It shouldn't be too big of a deal as long as you keep your eye on it and get the ointment if need be. Just don't neglect her if it seems to be infected.

I took her to the vet. She doesn't have an ulcer or laceration that he was able to see but I was given some anti septic and anti inflammatory drops as a precaution (just in case it is a very small cut or inside the eyelids). It is weird that she can open the eye occasionally but normally decides to keep in closed:confusd: I am sticking to the drops and hoping she will get back to normal. Thanks:)
