Is there anything I can do to help this? Is she going to be permanently blind (or so i presume) in that eye?
Does she appear blind in that eye, if you move your finger toward it any reaction?
Blue/Cloudy eye can be caused by several factors...
Head trauma (falling out of nest)
Lack of proper nutrition
Cataracts
Eye infection
Among others....
Sometimes depending on causes vision is limited or they can be completely blind in that eye.
With some a cloudy eye can clear up with good nutrition.
I would suggest you apply antibiotic eye drops in case of hidden infection. If it is infection they
will help clear it, if it isn't infection the eye drops won't help but won't hurt it either.
Suggested eye drops would be along the line such as Polysporin antibiotic drops.
