If your guinea pig has crusty eyes, most likely it has some sort of infection or allergy causing the eye to produce discharge. If left untreated and undiagnosed, it could potentially cause blindness and systemic issues, not to mention discomfort and/or pain. You should take your guinea pig to your veterinarian to avoid any further discomfort or issues and have the problem treated by a professional.
