It shouldn't, unless it was too close or something (the turtles eyes could get sunburned).
Her eyes look fine to me.

Never heard of problems with incandescents. Bad fluorescents and unfiltered halogens could cause problems.

Her eyes look fine to me as well. If you do a search for swollen eyes you can probably find some pictures to compare coke's eyes to.
