She is slowing down for hibernation. So not seeing her everyday. Still living outside ina cold frame and a heat lamp. No other lighting as it’s all outdoors. My guess is the soil inside the heated cold frame has been dried out and irritated maybe caused an infection?? If so any ideas to sort it out please?

Your pics aren't showing for me, but regardless of the problem, you should not allow the tortoise to hibernate if there is any issue, regardless of the cause. This means you'll need to set up a large indoor enclosure with good heating, lighting and UV to get your tortoise through the long cold winter months.

I’m hoping I can ease her eyes before I hibernate her ha If there’s any issues she won’t be hibernated
