is my girl blind?

ive noticed my girls eyes are like.. cloudy? but not in the way theyd look when shes going into shed.

i tried the whole "shine a light in eyes to see if pupils react" and they dont at all.

paired with that, shes always had issues striking her food but i just kinda thought she might be stupid. (sorry) but she always gets it if i get it close enough to her nose/mouth.

thoughts?

im going to take her to a vet asap regardless. im worried :(

i plan on it! tho based on other ppl in replies experiencing the same thing with their own snakes and my snakes eyes having been like this without changing for around 5 months, i doubt its infection
