Cloudy eyes usually indicates septicemia. If it were me, I'd put the fish in a hospital tank and start with an antibiotic for gram negative bacteria. I usually add another for gram positive bacteria as well but most bacterial infections in fish are gram neg.
 
do more waterchanges and check for some medicine for cloudy eye looks like the fish is in bad condition already :(
