Is my bird ok?

Today I had an accident with my IRN and I just need to ask if someone knows should I be worried or not since we don't have any avian vet here and no parrot experts either. Thing is, our bird is really aggressive towards feet. So I try to always have slippers on due to this to avoid biting and make a wide circle if passing around her. But today she grabbed my toe really hard and wouldn't let go, as I shook her off it, she happened to smash against table really hard and took off to fly away only to smash against the wall then. When I managed to catch her, took her in a blanket she was breathing with open mouth and heart racing. I noticed her blinking is strange, like she blinks too much but her eyelids are moving slower, if that makes any sense. I found it odd she's not trying to escape so I opened blanket for her to get out but she took flight with her scared scream and smashed against window now too. As you can see, that's a lot of smashing, I'm worried now if she'll be ok at all. She was out of focus for few minutes when we put her back to cage at first but she got out soon again and behaved normal since then - ate, drank water, screamed, talked, fights with everything on the floor which is her usual activity...but eye worries me still. She seems to be blinking on 1 eye more than the other, eyelids on that eye seem to be moving slower. To me it appears like it has a bit more of the white part showing than it should but I might also be imagining things at this point since I can't really point out at such anomaly. So I wonder if she's going to be ok with thia and what could be with her eye? It's been already 8h from that accident and she's sleeping now(middle of the night), is it safe to assume she's fine? I'm scared because I read few times about birds dying after hitting wall and because they hide symptoms if they don't feel well. In general her behavior since then is perfectly normal, just that part about eye that seems off but can't really tell what exactly is different
