If it is really swollen and red, try wiping it really softly with either water or you could try special preservative-free saline solution (from vets), but I would stick with the water. I would advise you to take it to the vet if the swelling isn't gone by the next day. Hope it helps

What does a gerbil eye infection look like?
This will depend upon what exactly you mean by "eye infection". Generally owners consider this to be any inflammatory process occurring in or around the orbit. Inflammation of the conjunctiva (the pink membrane around the inside of the orbit) is one of the more common "eye infections" people will describe. With conjunctivitis, the perimeter of the orbit becomes red and swollen, often partially or completely closing the eyelids. An exudate often accompanies this, resulting in crusty material around the orbit and sometimes sealing the eyelids closed. True eye infections, where the eye itself is experiencing an inflammatory event, will look different. The sclera (white part of the eye) often becomes injected, meaning the blood vessels enlarge and are more prominent, looking something like a red roap map over the white of the eye. The pupil may be dilated or constricted, depending upon the exact location of the infection, and the cornea is often cloudy or red.
