The cloudy ares are concerning. The vet needs to examine the eyes with an ophthalmoscope.We can't really tell much from the photo. I can tell you it is not normal and may be an immune mediated response. It could also be uveitis from a virus. I don't want to second guess your vet as I was not there to examine him but the treatment does not sound appropriate for a stomach virus and if those are the actual doses you are giving they sound very high.

Upper respiratory infections can be of bacterial or viral origin or both. Cloudy, inflammed, and runny eyes in a kitten is a symptom of a viral respiratory infection like herpes, calici, or chlamydia virus. Oftentimes there symptoms will resolve with appropriate supportive care, which it sounds like Chester is already receiving. If the eye looks severe you may consider taking him back to the vet to have it checked because a corneal ulceration can for and will need to be treated. I'm sorry you're having to go through all this with your new kitten but it sounds like you are on the right track. Good luck.
