Eye Question
First time owner here of a Guinea Pig and I'm really worried about the left eye of my Guine Pig, Kiki.
Her left eye has a white, cloudy "stain (mark?)" on the back part:

Some observations:
• She is acting normal.
• Eats and drinks water normally.
• Her urine and feces are normal.
• She doesn't have any problems when breathing.
• She doesn't have any type of injuries.
• The eye doesn't secrete any type of secretions.
• The eye is open and doesn't have any crusts on it.
Only her left eye is like that. Her right one is normal.
Thanks for the attention and sorry if i made some mistakes. English is not my first language.

There are a couple of eye conditions that it might be, but it's hard to tell with the lighting on those pictures.
Look at the osseous metaplasia and osseous choristoma sections here: https://www.guinealynx.info/records/view ... ?p=162#162
There's nothing to be done for either condition, but fortunately, they don't cause any problems.

Are you thinking of the cloudiness, which could be a sign of an injury, cataracts, or something else?

Here is a crop of your pics so it is easier to see what you are talking about. The white part in the front of the bottom picture is the osseous metaplasia/choristoma that bpatters is referring to:

Yes, I'm talking about the cloudness that you can see on the back and in the lower part of her eye.
Sorry about the pics. I'll try to get a better one later.
I'm trying to make an appointment on a vet but both vets near my area that can handle exotic animals are closed due to Covid. All other vets i called said they can't help.
Thank you both for the answers.
