Hello!  I can see a picture here of a typical pugs' eye, with perhaps up to 40% of the globe exposed.   This is unusual for dogs - but not for pugs as man has bred them - and possible side effects include dry-eye and infections.  Therefore it's worth mentioning that any concerns about the comfort of the eye itself, may be very real and should be regarded as emergencies.

However, I suspect that the picture was taken to highlight the absence of fur close to the eyelid and two pink lumps.  I am unsure from here whether these are papillomas or enlarged follicles or cystic, or some other kind of lump.  One common cause of small lumps and bald areas close to eyes is the demodex mite, for which your vet may decide to test. Demodex often proliferate when the immune system takes a dip for some other reason, so if these microscopic, slightly crocodile-shaped mites are found, the vet may be on the lookout for other, systemic immune-threatening processes. In any case, this eye and its owner are very worthwhile showing to your vet. Wishing you all the best and we are looking forward to hearing how you get on.
