I would have to examine the eye in-person, but it appears that Nala has corneal edema causing the cloudiness. This happens with trauma to the eye and infections. It is not a permanent change, but if there is enough damage it can form a scar. It's best to have Nala rechecked by your vet. They can stain the eye and look for any evidence of ulceration, or infection. I hope that helps and Nala gets better soon.
