its a type of bacterial infection.. have you been slacking off on water maintenance i.e water changes etc.. test your water out and reccitfy any problems. you might also wanna head out and get some antibiotics for bacterial infections.

I had an IT datnoid that rubbed one of its eyes til there was a white patch over its lens while I was transporting it in my scratched up, abrasive (didn't know) bucket. The next day the scratched up spot got smaller and became transparent again as the days progressed. It took 3-4 days.

Keep your water clean, you'll see within 1-2 days if its healing.
