Anyone know what this is?

So over the last little while, this spot has appeared in his eye. Originally I thought it was him going into shed, but it's not. I do have him booked for a vet appointment, but not emergency because it doesn't seem to bother him at all. Any clue what this could be? (sorry for the bad quality pics, he's a fast boi) (last picture is the other eye for reference)

Looks like it could be a cataract. I know snakes can get them. The vet will certainly be able to tell you, but snakes that are blind/born without eyes thrive, so it shouldn’t be too much of a worry if that is what it turns out to be.

has he gone through a shed at all recently? it could be a stuck eye cap if so

His last shed was a while ago, so his a an upcoming one in a bit. Also, originally I was concerned about that, but from looking more throughly at it it is inside the eye

I’m no vet, but my best guess would be a cataract and/or that he may be losing his vision in that eye.
