what's tank size and other fish if any? and what's your water change schedule? cloudy eyes when detected early can simply be resolved with water changes and reduced feeding. Keep that water clean.

how much current is in the tank? if you dont have a powerhead, or water circulator in a 90 gallon, the water is too stagnant.... had the same problems with my dats, and when i added a water circulator it went away almost immediately ... this and keeping the water cleaner, upping the water change schedule, and adding aquarium salt should help clear it up

What are your filtration and aeration like? How much water do you change weekly? Try changing 50% every 2-3 days, while cut feedings to no more than once a day. I bet the cloudiness will clear up in ~10 days.

If the eyes have been cloudy for a few weeks then the eyes could be pemanently damaged.Do the dats appear to be able to see,what are they eating if anything?
