Hello. I have just joined this forum I am not sure if this is a proper place to display this, but I am in need of info.

On saturda (july 9th) I went to reptiday in sarasota. I purchased a diablo leopard gecko, hatchling, female. It was kept in a normal circular container, but with white bedding instead of paper towels. Today i was watching her explore her cage when I realized her left eye was slightly squinted. Compared to her other eye, it was very noticeable. I am thinking it got irritated by the bedding substrate in her small container she was kept in. She is very young so I don't know what I can do for her. I can post photos if needed

Any help?

Welcome to GF. No, it wasn't the right place to post (you put it in Classifieds where no one will be able to respond), but I've moved it. Keep an eye (so to speak) on her. Sometimes they just squint for no reason. You can gently wash her eye with warm water and a q-tip by putting a drop on her eye. If she never opens her eye, or if you see white or crusty stuff there, she will need to see a reptile vet.
