    Re: I think Queen Elizabeth may be going blind?!?!

    Looks like a retained spectacle.

    It should be common practice to examine every shed in order the make sure both spectacles have come off.

    As for oil or other substances permeating the cap - highly unlikely - I wouldn't worry about it.

    In the meantime, if you can't afford a vet, leave her alone until the next shed cycle. If the eye swells or if the shape becomes irregular, you will have to take her in.

    As for stuffing her in a a bag, or bathing her or mucking with what you think might be a retained spectacle - don't. Just leave her alone while making sure all her husbandry parameters are correct.
