I would try to clean her eye with the saline eye wash twice a day at least. Remove any pus, and apply the eye ointment. Can you contact your regular vet and ask about getting an antibiotic locally? Oxytetracycline is used as well as Tylan for MG (mycoplasma gallisepticum.) Do you still notice a bad odor from her face? Are both eyes still involved? If so, a sulfa antibiotic (bactrim or sulfadimethoxine) might be better. Since sick or chickens with poor eyesight due to sickness do not drink well, I would try to get her drinking as much as possible. Mixing some water into her food can help too.
Heat lamps are a great danger and cause coop fires every year. You may want to switch to another source of heat or double secure your lamp so that it cannot possibly fall or be knocked down. Flat panel heaters are available online.
