What is wrong with my puffers eye?

So i have a porcupine puffer and have had him almost a year now, but today when i came home one of his eyes lost the blue fluorescent color to it, does anyone know what it could be and why does this happen?

Well, that's a new one on me. I see a lot of eye issues with porcupines, but never saw this before. It almost looks like a cataract, but those take time to develop. Is the fish still feeding normally?
