Hi there.

It is possible she has conjunctivitis which could have been caused by the chlorine and other chemicals in the pool. I suggest you to give her dark sunglasses to wear. Avoid sunlight exposure. Give her plenty of water. Show her to an Ophthalmologist for property evaluation of the problem and appropriate treatment.
