Did it suddenly get cloudy; or, has it always been that way?

This could be anything from a retained eyecap till an eye infection. I would recommend a trip to the vets just in case . Keep us posted on how she's doing, I hope all's well with her.

Most likely it is something congenital such as cataracts, or possibly an old injury, but it would be best to take it to the vet to affirm that nothing else is happening.

Good to hear! Raise up ur humidity a little to ease the process for the next few days--spray/mist water on the enclosure walls and inside it's hot hide (sauna effect), or add wet sphagnum moss in a bowl, and also put some in the hot hide.

This will ensure a complete shed, and hopefully a single piece "whole" shed.
