I rescued a snake that had a severe eye injury (among other things). It was from a rat attack.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:
When I first took her in:
After removing the stuck shed (notice the eye):
After about a month of healing (the brown thing on her eye had been a scab of some sort. Notice how there is a dent in her eye where it had been pierce by the rat's teeth.)
And this is her the other day (that's her bad eye!):
The day after I took her in, I took her to the vet. He couldn't do anything for her eye or for the wounds on her head. All he could do was prescribe antibiotics for her respiratory infection (she was a mess).
So they can bounce back from an eye injury, even a severe one. I would say it took Manasa's eye five months to heal completely.
Good luck.
