Welcome to the forum.
When you say ‘blind in one eye’ what do you mean?
It could be a haypoke in which case eye drops will quickly sort it.
You really need to get to a vet quickly as eye problems can escalate if not dealt with.

Let us know how you get on

Please see a vet promptly; best today!
It sounds like an ulcerated eye. Eye injuries can deteriorate very quickly, but when treated straight away they usually also heal very easily again.

When you say 'blind,' do you mean that one eye has suddenly gotten cloudy/blueish? This is generally an eye-poke injury (guinea pigs be prone to poking their eyes with hay, etc.) It will need to see a vet quickly for antibiotic treatment to preserve the eye and for pain meds. These things often do well when treated early, but can deteriorate if allowed to infect, so definitely see your vet ASAP!
