Are both eyes that way?

Stop rubbing it. You could cause more damage.
It appears to be a cataract. Older snakes are likely develop them.
A pic of both eyes that isn't so close would help.

I have a corn snake with cataracts in both eyes though I think she can still see some out of the better eye. She's an absolute joy. I adopted her from a rescue. Like Daddio said they do just fine with no or with limited sight.

Welcome to the forum, Mrcheesy. When you have more time I hope you come back and tell us more about this rescue. Looks like a nice snake, and from what I can see of the face, it looks like an older snake. My girl is somewhere in the 13 to 15-year-old age range and has "wrinkles" on her face like this one has.

I think the rescued babies are the best!! I rescued my Otis from some absolutely disgusting conditions and I swear he loves me even more because of it I'm so glad you rescued your new baby especially with the cataract cause a lot of people won't rescue a so called "defective" animal!! I guarantee you'll love every minute with him/her!!

Please keep in touch and update us! She looks beautiful from what I can see in the picture. Rest assured that in captivity where the food appears in front of her nose periodically, any vision impairment will not impact her having a good life and a great relationship with you.

Mine knows her way around her enclosure and has regular supervised outings where she gets to crawl around my living room. She has no trouble navigating at all. If I couldn't see the cataracts with my own eyes I'd have no idea she had vision impairment!
