As far as I can tell now, the eye isn't damaged.

I would agree. If the vet isn’t an option, it’s hard to be able to tell. Do you have any ideas?

My brain is thinking, I wouldn’t know how to remove the eye. The eye will rot off and recede if it’s too bad. And other than giving oral antibiotics and topical, I’m not sure what else can be done.

Suffering from pain is a given if the eyeball is damaged..
I can't comfortably give information as how to treat because the Bird will need the eye removed and pain medication..Antibiotics for that condition too..

Go buy contact solution then and keep her eye clean and moist 3 times a day..

Contact solution is good as long as it is the saline type. Look at it carefully because you don't want the type that has the enzymatic cleaning as this would be pretty painful and would harm the good tissue. I haven't looked at contact solutions for years so not exactly sure what is out there now, but years ago the enzymatic solutions were all the thing to keep your lenses clean, just not for in your eye. Plain saline is really the best. You can use a bottled water 16 oz and put a 1 teaspoon of salt in it and shake until dissolved, then put a small hole in the lid and then you have a nice focused-stream spray bottle of sorts to easily clean the area. Don't use well water to refill. City water is ok if needed, but better just to use a new unopened bottled water.

Yes I think lubricating eye drops would be more gentle and moisturizing than contact solution. This is probably more of what you all are referring to.

No, I guess I should of been more specific..Clear contact solution..No additional stuff added..Or keep it simple and use warm water with pickling salts...

Sorry for the blurriness and bad quality. That cleansing I did seemed to help alot. There's still all that gunky skin there under the eye, gonna leave it alone for now
