Eye Shed too early, should I be concerned?

Hello!

I have had my bearded dragon girl ROY for about 3 years and her shed has always gone smoothly. This time around however, with her whole face flaky at once, it seems she may have gotten too ambitious with her scratching as one of the fallen eye sheds was still soft when I picked it up off the floor of her enclosure.

None of her behavior has changed and the eye looks okay, but the new skin around the eye is much lighter in color than normal. Should I be concerned or is there anything I should do for that eye?

This is the eye she's having some trouble with. Across the top of the eyelid where there is still some soft skin is the area that pulled off.

It looks normal, but i bet it's bugging the heck put of her. If you hold your finger kind of close i bet she will use it for a scratching post lol 😁. If you try it use the back of your finger not the tip.

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.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
