Blind or Infected?

[ElectricLizard]

My leopard gecko had a hard and long shed and she was just able to uncover her eyes after I was away for the weekend and unable to help her, I noticed that one eye was much lighter and looked like it had a film over it, I can't tell if it's infected or if it's already too late and she's blind.

It's hard to see too much of the eye in those pictures. I'm assuming you've removed the pieces of shed stuck on the toes and the nose. Check the eyes carefully to see if there are any small pieces of shed stuck iin there because that can cause irritation and ultimately infection. If the gecko was fine before the shed, I doubt that there has been a sudden onset of blindness. You could try gently washing the eye with warm water and a q-tip but beyond that you'll have to consider a vet visit if it doesn't get better.
