Thanks for reaching out about Lucas. Without more information on the eye condition or the mediation used, a visit with an avian veterinarian is recommended. Intra-ocular cataracts are not uncommon, where the lens changes opacity. There is no treatment for this short of surgery, but usually does not affect blinking. Trouble blinking could be due to glaucoma, where the pressure inside the eye increases. Topical medication might be able to control this, but eye removal might be indicated. Good luck.
