I would guess that the eye has contracted about as much as is possible. Since a 2 mile wide eye is unprecedented, it's hard to say exactly what will happen from here. Chances are, the eyewall will simply fall apart (causing the eye to disappear on satellite), or else it may slowly open back up again and die a slower death. There is a definite outer wind maximum in the recon data, so an eyewall-replacement cycle is inevitable.
