Sorry to hear about his eyes. Can you post the pic here? I'm sure many of us would love to see and hear more about this for educational purposes. Thanks a bunch. Hope that he will be ok.
 
Photos would help,

dont think i ever heard of such a thing

Are you sure they were true cysts?
Sounds like the products of a mycoplasma infection to me, (Chronic Respiratory Disease)

It really is a yellowy harden mucus pack that develops under the eye lids due to sinus drainage.
Have seen it hundreds of times. Usually, you can spread open the eyelid and pop them right out, IF this is what you actually had.
If you dont get them out, they just keep getting bigger and can eventually blind the bird. But if it is MG (CRD) the bird will now always be a carrier of it, as there is no cure for it. They usually dont die from it, but it will spread it over time to all your birds in your flock. And to anyone else's birds if you sell some .
This is why many states are now requiring Mycoplasma testing along with the normal pullorum testing for you to be NPIP certified to ship into those states.

Hope it was just a cyst, a pic would clarify it quickly no matter how gross looking.
