Thanks for reaching out about Lilly. Dietary deficiencies, specifically vitamin A, can lead to corneal infections or cloudiness. Insects need to be gut-loaded with a wide variety of vegetables, including carrots and squashed, that have higher levers of vitamin A. The possible secondary infection needs to be treated by a veterinarian. Topical and/or systemic antibiotics will probably be needed. Gently wiping with saline will help to keep moist until a veterinary visit can be scheduled. Good luck.
