Third Eyelid
Dogs have an additional membrane in the inner corner of their eyes (nictitating membrane), often called the "third eyelid." According to the "Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook," this membrane may extend to cover the dog's entire eyeball, looking as though the eye has rolled back in its socket. This is your dog's way of protecting his eye from further damage, and it occurs frequently if his eye is irritated or injured. It also might be conjectivitis (pink eye)
