Does she seem to be in any pain? Are the eyes not running or excessively goey? Would she still take a treat or snuggle? If it's yes then it can probably wait..but if it is still presenting itself in the am make sure you go.
Could be something simple like an eyelash in there, just like we get, but they don't have the digits to get it out, or it could be an infection or something like a chard of glass that could cause trouble.
I'd gauge how she is reacting to how you might react to some things...if your eye was blinking alot and you were not in pain or gooey, would you spend all saturday night in the hospital?

Try to wash it out with some water, if it gets worse I would take her to the hospital. If there is no change I would wait till in the morning. Good Luck.

If you have any eye wash try washing her eye out with some of it. It is probably just a particle of some kind.
If she isn't better by morning you can decide if she needs emergency medical care.

It doesn't sound like an emergency. It could be allergies, she could have something in her eye, ot could be a scratch. One of my dogs has chronic cornea problems, and I have to get drops for her eyes. I would take her to the vet on Monday or tomorrow if they are worse.

Try Visine- anything that helps humans medicine wise usually works on pets too as long as you scale down the dosage. If visine is safe for our eyes, it is safe for their eyes.
It's not an emergency, your puppy can still breathe and go to the bathroom and eat, right? Ok, so it's not critical.

Call tomorrow or Monday and make and appointment with the vet. She could have an eye infection or she could have gotten something in it.
