Not familar with boas....but pretty sure it's the same as pythons. After the milky eyes, they eyecap will move away from the eye so it appears transparent. She/He will then shed a day or two later.
So.....nope, she didn't eat it.....and it didn't run away on it's own. She/He hasn't shed.....yet.

I experienced the same thing with my biggest male half a year ago. His eyes became clear, looked like he shedded but never found anything at all. Two months later he got again his milky eyes, I waited but this time he normally sheded. To my opinion he just missed one shed, don't know how this could be but I was pretty sure he didn't shed the first time??

The same thing happened with my boa a few weeks ago. I was certain she was about to shed, but then I noticed her eyes had cleared up, but no shedding anywhere in the cage. Just as everyone else before me mentioned, about 2 days later, she shed and all was good.
