is Coke's (RES) eyes swollen? or does she just have big eyes?

[BullDog]

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

[marisa]

No problem with those eyes.

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.
