Clara's curled up on the floor, crying (though she can't quite tell if both sides are actually functioning. And even if they are, the tears from the right side are just getting mixed in with what used to be her eyeball), fighting to draw in any breath now that Venus isn't trying to strangle her. She barely even focuses on the fact that right now she needs Alex Murphy, her husband and not Alex Murphy, the supercop.
Really, the only thing that he said that managed to get through to her was to put pressure on it, which seems like a tremendously useless idea considering a) there aren't exactly EMTs in the Arena and b) putting pressure on an empty socket sounds like a terrible idea. Once she has her brain a little bit more together, she'll actually be about to voice the idea that he take her to Dr. Norton since he might be able to at least properly clean it out.
The thought of having to go to Dr. Norton not to be simply patched up, but to have him clean out her empty eye socket sends a horrified chill down her spine.
From the way it sounds like Alex is moving, he's heading towards Venus at a quick pace. There's probably something in the programming that okays killing people in Venus's position. Clara doesn't want anyone to be killed because of her, despite what Venus did to her. "Alex," she manages to croak out, "please don't kill her."
