Dilly's eye looks like this tonight. She doesn't seem bothered by it. It has sometimes seemed a little bulgy (more so than the other one) but never as big as this.

Any ideas what it is? Do we need a trip to the vets?

Could indeed be as ladykelly says, would get it checked out to be 100% sure. How Long have they had it?
 
I just looked up pea eye and it seems exactly like that. That eye has always seemed to have a droopier bottom and a little bulge underneath but it seems bigger tonight.
She also has a dewlap thing so maybe she has a tendency for fatty lumps bless her!

That looks like a pea or fatty eye. It is not at all uncommon in older piggies. In fact, two or three of my current old ladies have it. If you are worried, please see a vet during normal opening hours.
 
A few of my older pigs have it too, and some days it can look more obvious than others.
 
Looks like Pea eye ! But always wise to get a vet to have a look!
