If the fish is still feeding in the smaller container, then indeed it may be blind. This isn’t anything that can be fixed though….least not that know of.

I am told completely Normal
In my experience if they are cloudy it can be a sign of disease etc. which will clear up if treated. I have had a fish with one eye but never one with both clean looking eyes that I felt was blind. may have to live in a smaller tank or a box alone. Unfortunately may not be a long term fish. Hopefully we are all wrong and it perks up.
