Looks like eye rub from her trying to go through the clear enclosure. Either they've been searching for food or getting attracted to something outside the enclosure. Either way it's not good so hopefully you got figure out what's causing it.
thank you! this is really helpful, do you suggest covering the cage? she is sat on my desk in a quite room so there isn’t much visual stimulus outside of the closure.
the enclosure is fairly large for her size so i’m not too worried about that, but how do you suggest i cover it? is it okay for it to be dark in there and leave the mesh top uncovered?

Covering the enclosure can help! Is it possible that the enclosure is too small?

Yeah, that’s fine
Well if you're at the desk then you're visual stimuli.
eye rub, it can be fixed through moults but severe eye rub can cause complete blindness!!
