Eye injury healing closed

[Maatawry]

Hi all! I have a chicken who had a bad eye injury from what I suspect was a pecking issue. There was a lot of pus and it was a long road of opthalmic antibiotic ointment and isolation. It finally started to improve, but it looks as if the lens is somewhat disconnected or floating around a bit, so I don't know how much she was able to see out of it.

Just in the past few weeks she started spending time back outside and aside from some cleaning after happy dust bathing time, it was doing fine.

But I noticed everyday it is just a little bit more closed. The are doesnt look infected, I see no pus, but the eye seems to be healing closed. I am unsure if I should be concerned about this or not?

Any insight appreciated.

Are you still applying antibiotic ointment?

No, i applied it 2-3 times a day for about 4 weeks and stopped when the tube was nearly finished and the eye didn't appear to be harboring any more infection.
