Her vets not to sure what’s going on so she’s going to do some research and see. Hopefully we can figure out what’s going on soon.

This can mean there is fluid buildup in the effected eye's eyesocket - which is pushing the eyeball out a little more than normal.
There a number of health reasons that can cause this with one eye only , some very dangerous and serious , others minor and temporarily.
My Puff had a swollen left eye that was attributed to a server / lifethreateningly large aneurism on one of his left jugular vein ( due to a berth defect ). Took a few months to become obvious.
Another person here had a dragon who had blocked tearduct (turned up due to a cancer of the eyesocket).
I'd monitor for now , and keep a very good photographic record. This is more than likely something that will self resolve without any need of vet intervention.
Keep an eye on it.

Thanks for the reply! Her vets not to concerned at the moment as long as it doesn’t get bigger, as long as the eye doesn’t get red, and as long as it stays open and responds normally.
We where going to do an eye pressure test but the machine was to big for her little eye.
I’ll keep taking photos to monitor her progress. Hopefully it’s nothing!
