A picture would help. Are you referring to a change in color that appears to be in the pupil or on the corneal surface of the eye?

Good luck at he vets with Clark:hug:

I wonder if he mabye has the start of a cataract? Could be totally wrong though - how old is Clark?

Hi!

Here are some pics of cataract in bunnies:

Here are corneal ulcers:

Corneal occlusion (probably not it, also WARNING gross pics of surgery):

Corneal lipidosis:

Make sure the vet doesn't give Clark an eye drop that contains steroids (compounds that end in -isol) without doing a test for a corneal ulcer. They can put a dye in the eye to check for an ulcer, which is basically a scratch. Steroids in an ulcerated eye can make the scratch not heal, and in fact may make it worse.
