I personally would have a vet look at it, because eye meds aren't for everything. Neobac is what I like to use, but I would have a vet look at her first.
For a good eye rinse, soak some tea bags in water and squirt the water into the eye. Tea is a soothing mixture for eyes. It takes the redness and irritation away.

All men are equal on the turf - or under it.
Regular old saline eyewash that comes in quart bottles for contact lense wearers. If there is a light runny nose too, you could give her some SMZ's for a few days.. all the ones I got at Fasig Tipton had runny eyes and snots for a week -- not thick snots, just runny noses. I started using the granular PDZ, too, it works a lot better. I was concerned that maybe the runny eyes/noses were due to leftover ammonia under the bedding.

madelyn - so you put the saline solution in the eye? i have a young gelding with a chronic runny eye and i'm thinking it needs to be washed out now and again.
