so strange, i wonder if she has some sort of allergy, like to the bedding that irritates her eyes then she scratches and cuts herself getting it dirty..blah blah blah

i wonder if irrigating the eye with saline then the optical antibiotic again would help 

with all her chronic problems she is probably not the healthiest bird, there is some thing wrong with her immune system
so weird

I hadn't thought about allergies! Thank you.

We'll be putting the topical antibiotic on her tonight.

Definitely a weak immune system. She's not losing weight, so that's a major plus. None of the others are bullying her or pecking at the scabs & scars, also a plus.
 
I can't imagine it would be allergies only affecting one side. It's like two different birds, looking at the two pictures!. Unless maybe it's an allergy to something topical...? So sorry this is still going on.
 
Thank you, @chicknmania

I've thought about allegies over the past few days and can't think of anything different we've added.

It does look like two different birds.
 
I didn't find anything last night when I checked her for lice, mites, and lesions anywhere else on her body. I also haven't seen her scratching or any of the others bothering her.

Here she is yesterday, good side & bad. All the white areas are scars.

There are two dots on the lower lid that are starting to form into lesions (on the bad side). Those were both visible in photos from last fall but not over the summer. It's strange. Those aren't the only spots that have turned into lesions over a period of months.

All the photos look better when they're opened than in the posts.

Eeh! She's really blown up! I feel horrible this is still happening and I haven't been much help.
 
She came to us as an adult 2 yrs ago. She was probably around 3.5 yrs old when this started last summer.

Edited to clarify age.
