How long has he been that way? The eyes usually get cloudy and stay that way for about 5 days to a week. Then they clear back up for a day or two before the actual shed begins. Just make sure you raise the humidity as much as you can in there and ESPECIALLY when you see the eyes clear back up since he'll be very close. Spray water inside the tank often to get the humidity up. if you have a screentop, cover most of it, but not all of it, so the water doesnt evaporate as fast. Humidity is the key to keeping him from shedding pieces and helping him shed the eyecaps. You can also give him a humid hide to go into as well.
