Hello. This appears to be corneal edema, which essentially causes thickening of cornea resulting in a decrease in clarity. I would revisit about this with your veterinarian as over time, corneal edema may lead to recurrent or chronic corneal erosions. A thorough ocular examination should be done, including measurement of intraocular pressures, fluorescein staining, a Schirmer tear test, & examination of intraocular structures to look for any underlying causes, including the possible use of the medication you are now using in the eye.
