Answer
Hi Vicky,
These folks in the hamster section can probably better answer this than I can, as I don't work with hamsters.

However, I would have a vet at least look at it to see if it is sealed shut like a birth defect.

If it is crusty looking, then get a q-tip or cotton swab and warm it with water then gently rub it over the eye and see if that doesn't loosen the lid.

That is about all I can offer you since I am not familiar with hamsters myself.
