Any updates on the chick Casportpony?

Veterycin eye gel, Terramycin eye ointment, or plain antibiotic eye ointment such as Neosporin would be good to apply to the eye twice a day. If there is drainage, then saline can be used to flush the eye before the gel or ointment is used.

Has the eye receded in size any? Or is she just stable?

Her eye had shrunk down, although still looked either scarred, or like the eyelid was covering it, she seemed to be doing great, and then died on me .

Sorry you lost her!
Whatever caused the eye problem could have affected her brain as well or something like that. Mutations rarely "travel alone".

So I had one of these hatch in May, and I thought for sure it was gonna die, 'cause it just looked "off" and it was't eating and gaining weight the way they should.

Here he is yesterday:

The chick lived, but the eye shriveled away to almost nothing.
