There are a variety of reasons a cat can lose hair around the eyes. Further testing would be required. Differentials include: allergies, hyperthyroidism, endocrine conditions, dermatitis, self-mutilation, melatonin deficiency, among other causes. I would recommend watching your cat to make sure she is not over-grooming. If not, see your veterinarian.

Some cats like humans lose hair with age just like humans do. It should be ok as long as sking is not red or inflamed. See vet with questions.
