Closing one eye? Poked it wrong?

Hello Everyone!

Not an emergency question. About a week ago my bearded dragon pixie was feasting on some crickets. One of them got a bit aggressive with her and started lashing around when she bit on his head. She had flinched and dropped it. Only to pick up the cricket and fully eat it. I got the hunch that she got poked in the eye with its leg or something.
A couple minutes after I noticed she was closing/squinting one eye. The first days were concerning. But a week later its like I am convinced she is just sassy and faking the injury for more attention haha

She still uses the eye. She only has it closed when no one is paying attention to her. Once she is being held or in an active environment she has it opened. No pus or ozzing. No bruising. The eye looks fine.
The only reason I ask for second opinion is because I have read they are great at hiding injuries to not appear weak.

Thank you all xD

If she still appears to be using her eye and you don't see it become watery or oozing then it's probably OK. It's possible she got a scratch but I'd imagine it will be fine if you don't see other symptoms that would indicate an infection. They often close an eye to shut out something that is going on around them (often annoying humans) and sometimes they just close an eye while basking.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
