I would flush the eye copiously with a warm saline wash first. The inflammatory response occurring will remain the same/worsen, if dirt, and foreign objects are stuck in the mucosal membrane of the eye.
Terramycin would be my first choice as well for a topical applicant.
Systemic antibiotics may be a good choice in case bacteria has entered deeper into the tissue where a topical ointment can't reach.
If you have access to any NSAIDs such as meloxicam, carprofen, or ketoprofen from a past bird/dog/cat visit that would also prove useful. Asprin would be contradicted in use, until a later period where hemorrhaging is less likely to occur.
It is possible she may have lost her vision in the eye. As of now, there is no way to be totally sure without an expert performing an ophthalmic evaluation.

A simple vision test, known as the menace reaction can be performed once the eye is in a better state to test the vision of the bird. The test includes moving an open hand swiftly towards the bird's eye, watching for any reaction (flinching, moving away, etc) to suggest the bird can still see.
