I was playing with her earlier and happened to notice something weird in her eye when the light hit a certain way. On closer inspection it looks like a really fine hair (like the squiggly kinds you get on clothing). I don't think it's a scratch since her pupils are the same size and she's not showing any signs of discomfort (scratching/ pawing, tearing, etc). I've administered a drop of purified water (eye solution) and it's still there but may have moved slightly. If it's still there tomorrow I'll be making a vet appointment, but in the meantime, what symptoms would denote that this is a scratch on the lens instead? What should I be looking for?

Also, if anyone has other suggestion, I'd appreciate your feedback. Hopefully it's just a hair, but if not, I'll have to take her in.

Just checked on her again to see that it's definitely moved; it's now closer to the edge of her eye instead, maybe from being flushed out. Definitely not a scratch, thankfully!

Is it still there?  Hopefully it will migrate OUT of the eye completely.

Yes, the squiggly hair did indeed make its way out of her eye completely, the very same night I noticed it. I just forgot to update this thread (oops). Thanks! [emoji]128522[/emoji]
