Exclamation My hamster's eye is red at the bottom.

My hamster's eye is red at the bottom and a little swollen.
My mum and i have been cleaning it with salty water and for a while it was getting better but then it started not progressing as well.
She is quite old.
What makes me feel funny is that she is still her usual self, all springy running on her wheel as if nothing is wrong. Any ideas what it could be.
The bad thing is, is that my vet is not open until Tuesday.
I will post a picture of her eye in the comments soon.
(Russian winter white)
(2 years old in less than a month)

I would stop using salty water as this may irritate the sensitive tissue of the eye.

Can she close her eye at all and is it like a small lump?

Just warm water then?
Or nothing

If there is no discharge then washing it will not really do anything.
