I might be just seeing things, but to me, it seems as her eyes went back into the stalks, in the first molt, and then they seem to be coming out more and more.

Would it be possible that her old, damaged eyes had dropped off and she grew new ones? because it seems as if the eyes are 'growing' out of the stalks..

Great documentation of her eye progression. I'm happy she can see. I did the same "vision test" on my female Indo. Her eyes were terribly damaged in a fight (in the wild) when I bought her. She is blind. I'm currently anxiously waiting for her to finish her first molt with me.

In the pics showing the cloudy eyes prior to the molts it seems like she never shed the exo around her eye stalks. Like a double exoskeleton formed around her eyes. Maybe that could of caused the resulting deformity (squinty eyes)?
