I'm not great with diagnosing sick fish, but it looks like a fungal thing to me.

I would definitely do something about it.
 
You should remove whatever you have added in the tank immediately as they obivously leeching something in the water and do a huge water change after that. The fish is definitely reacting to something in the water. To help the fish recover, you can add Pimafix and Melafix into the tank.

Cloudy eye is a sign of poor water quality resulting in infection of gram negative bacteria. If the eyes continue to be cloudy after you have done all the above. You will need to administer antibiotics to combat the infection.
