I think it's fine. Can you raise the water level up?

I was told that having a uvb light closer then 10" can cause eye irratation

it is a pretty good possibility. the eyes will swell up and get red. if that does happen i have heard zoo med turtle eye drops work and you will need to move the uvb light back
