I would try offering her some mashed scrambled eggs after washing the eye with warm water, try to gently loosen the gunk up. If you have a poultry vitamin on hand I would give her a few drops of that orally too, just drip a few drops onto the side of her bill.

What are you referring to?

What are you referring to?

the eggs. We also just finished her bath and her eye has opened and most of the crust has gone away, but this has revealed that she has a white patch on her eye, and it is cloudy. She did eat out of my hand though!!!!

That great! I would keep washing the eye, and once you get the ophthalmic gel start putting a few drops on her eye too. Can you post a picture of her eye cleaned up? Scrambled eggs are packed full of nutrients, and ducks seem to enjoy them, that's why they are good for sick birds, keep offering her food and water.
