Baby bunny's eye bulged out and turned red.

Hello, how are you lovely people doing?
So, a girl recently bought a bunny and I gave her all the information I knew even though the people before me told her so many wrong information such as feeding the rabbit a lot of fruits and carrots and even bread or whatever and today she messaged me and told me something's wrong with her bunny's eye which's thisthis appears to be irritation,inflamation,-see the exotic vet for exam,and gentamycin for the eye,-sincerely james waller for joseph r cottontail/bdenium rip

Apparently she's hesitant about taking it to the vet even though I highly recommended it but she wanted me to ask you about it so I'm doing so. What might this be and what could the treatment for it be?

It would be wrong for anyone to speculate based on a photo, she really should go to a vet like you suggested. Even a vet wouldn’t give advice like this based on a photo.

Uhm, only one eye is affected? That's a good sign. There are several , pretty harmless potential reasons for this, anyway, see a vet. Eyes are delicate organs.
But I got somewhat paranoid about eyes looking like this after losing 14 of my 15 rabbits to Myxo some years ago.

Alice, if you had physical contact with that rabbit and own rabbits yourself, obey quarentine procedures like changing clothes ( including shoes ) and desinfecting hands.

Yes, I'm somewhat paranoid about that, but well...
