Hi guys, I need advice regarding my turtle. She is 10, and recently I noticed that there is a thin layer of white film over her left eye. She seems fine and no appetite problem, but she has been sleeping a lot. Is it due to infection? I hope the film can be seen from the pic :/

Thanks!

It does look a bit irritated. Is the other eye completely normal? Can you look into some Zoo Med eye drops?

Yeah the other eye is normal. No vet or pet shop nearby. The earliest I can get the eye drop will be 2 weeks later :(
Will it get better by itself? Anything I can do in the mean time, maybe change in diet?

Maybe try adding some cod liver oil to the eye, but if the eye gets worse then you should have a vet check it out.
