It's a tough world out there, some find a way into our hearts however they do and some have to face whatever outcome awaits them. Not sure what got the eye there to begin with, and it sounds like untreated it will be fatal. But that end could be meet by another animal, a mower, human with a dislike for snakes. Not good news, but, life.
It should also be said that they are tough as nails and find ways to survive when it doesn't seem possible.
