It's hard to tell from the picture as the eye stalks look quite normal to me. I guess it's a case of actually being there observing the snail and the way it moves it's eyestalks....
Is your snail healthy and acting as he normally does?

It's probably not anything that is causing the snail a serious problem. As long as it is eating well and acting normally, it is probably okay.
I recently read somewhere that a muscle pulls in the eyestalk but it takes blood pressure to push it back out again (it's not another muscular action). The fact that the other eyestalk is apparently functioning normally makes me suspect the problem is not serious.
