This will depend upon what type of mouse you have. If the baby is a wild mouse, the best option will be to leave it alone - either the mother will come back and take care of it, or it will die quickly. Wild mice can be aggressive and carry numerous diseases including plague, hantavirus and Salmonella - they do pose a health risk to humans, particularly those with compromised immune systems, and shouldn't be picked up as pets or as rescues.
If the baby is a captive-bred mouse, you can try feeding it with diluted kitten or puppy milk replacer (dilution will depend upon the formula and the age of the mouse pup). You'll also need to provide water and a sheltered nest, possibly with auxillary heat source. It is unusual for a mother mouse to reject a pup unless there is something wrong with it or the pup isn't thriving; if this happens with more than one pup, I would suggest not breeding this mouse again.
New born mice are pink with their eyes tight shut and their ears back. At day five, you'll be able to see the mouse's pigmentation. At day ten, the mouse will have a fuzz over it's body. By day fourteen, their eyes will be open and they should be able to move around quite well. An orphan mouse will need vital care before it's opened it's eyes. Afterward, there's a pretty good chance they will live if you can adequately take care of them.
I have two birds and when they had babies they would shut their eyes a lot. It means that they are tired from doing something. In my birds case it was because they were exhausted from taking care of 4 baby birds. I suggest that you identify something that would make your birds tired and have them not do that anymore.
If your baby wakes up with their eyes crusted shut, gently clean their eyes with a warm, damp cloth. Be sure to wash your hands before and after. If the crusting persists or if your baby shows signs of discomfort, redness, or swelling, consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.

To safely and effectively help your baby when their eyes are matted shut in the morning, gently clean their eyes with a warm, damp cloth. Use a separate cloth for each eye to prevent spreading any infection. If the matting persists or if there is redness, swelling, or discharge, consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.
Koalas are born with their eyes fused shut. They only open their eyes from about 22 weeks.

We think we see things, that our eyes are wide open, but we are ignorant and oblivious, our eyes shut.
Eyes Wide Shut was released on 07/16/1999.
It sounds like the mouse may have an infection in or around its eyes. Trying dabbing the affected places with a tiny bit of Neosporin. You may have to hold the mouse by the scruff to get it to hold still for that--be careful not to hurt it, and don't do that for long. A vet would be able to give you better advice.
