She had some cold and infection. I took her to the vet and all the cold has now gone it took about 1 week. Now when i put a food bowl in front of her she completely misses it. When i hold it afar she can make out its direction and goes towards it but completely misses it. Could there be some issues with the brain or something?
 
Chickens don't get colds that go away. They get diseases, usually for life. Sometimes antibiotics will help ease symptoms but not make the disease go away.

Marek's disease can affect the eyes.

Did the vet give you any thing to give the bird?
Can you post clear photos of each eye?

He gave me antibiotics. Shes way too old to have mareks plus the vet didn’t say anything about that. It took her to the vet again and he said she is weak from the infection and she should make a recovery
