Thanks for reaching out about your cockatiel and including photos. Trauma to the eyes, such as a chemical or aerosol, are possible, but also a disease call psittacosis, which is a bacterial infection. A veterinary visit is highly recommended as this is contagious to both other birds and people. Good luck.
