So the vet said dehydration caused the eye problem....
I only have one local vet that has experience with snakes. She said that Rainbow's eye problem was caused by the stuck shed that fell off plus dehydration was the primary cause of the dented eye cap. It is looking some better already. I will take more photos later today. Does this sound like sound advice? I have a water pan large enough for her to put her entire body in. The most I have seen her do is drink in it so far. It also looked like she was washing her face after she eat the other day. She repeatedly dipped her entire head in the water dish. The substrate I had in there was terrible so I changed it out for what I was using before.

She said that most likely it was caused by poor husbandry conditions before I received her. She said that injecting her prey with water should help and to keep her humidity up. Her large water bowl keeps her humidity around 65% with no additional humidity added. The vet said that that was great. She also said stuck shed that fell off after a day in her enclosure helped also. She said next shed should look normal but the eye is slightly larger than the other eye.
