Fowl pox sealing chicks eyes

[Reaperprincess]

I have a few chicks with fowl pox some are already healing but two of them have both their eyes sealed by the scabs of the pox and their eyes are starting to swell now when I gently pulled their eyelids apart to apply medicine their eyes are covered by this white solid substance. Any advice is appreciated.

I dont want to pick at their eyes or anything. I just open the eyes enough to put medicine in and then leave them. But they are not eating or drinking. They are essentially blind. What can I do?

Also I am absolutely sure it is fowl pox I have had chickens with it before. But the other chickens usually only had one eye closed and it headed beautifully. I don't know why these keep getting worse.
