Red eyelids in a lamb

I have a 2 week old lamb, been out with Mum for over a week. Today I noticed both eyelids, upper and lower, in both eyes are red. Lamb seems OK but what would cause this and what can I do?

The picture does not do justice to the redness - it is very red! Daft thing would not stand still for a photo!

No, the eyelashes are turned out - still red, no better, no worse. Lamb seems fine and the eyes are clear. It would be a bit ironic if she was allergic to lanolin though! Thinking of fitting a straw bonnet. ;)
