It could be a number of things, including mange. Squirrels can get eye infections the same way we do, when bacteria gets in there and causes a form of conjunctivitis (pink eye). Mange, unfortunately, often starts above the eye and around the ears, so let's hope it's not that. A picture would help if you can. :thumbsup
