I'm very unsure what to call it. Maybe a skin tag? Regardless there's a little...thing on Gacy's eye area. It's actually been there for a hot minute, I just thought it was a feather growing in near the eye until today. I'm not sure if it's been there forever or not, I'd have to do some looking at old images. Any thoughts?

Sorry if it's unclear. It's the little lighter spot there at the upper eyelid.

We have a saline eye drop that was recommended by a vet to us for a mouse with chronic eye troubles, but I'm not sure if she'd benefit from it. Is this anything to worry about?

If you are worried, a vet visit will ease those worries. I would monitor it and watch for any changes.

As Helena has written, it doesn't look a problem at the moment as it is not obstructing vision. If it gets bigger then a visit to the vet would be advisable but otherwise wait until the next check-up visit

Very strange indeed. It seemed to change position a little and today it's just gone -- suppose whatever it was fell off or something. One less worry for me, then!

EDIT: My bad. Still there! Easy to miss little thing. I do think it'll fall off though as most of it seems to have disconnected from the eye (hence the position change and me not seeing it) so I'm just keeping my eye on it for now to see if it changes in any concerning ways.
