That is likely to be due to a moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to a trauma or infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well as cloudy appearance could be suggestive of a lesion on eye surface. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
