If i were in your shoes i'd take the leo to a vet, only a herp vet can diagnose her with anything, for now, you can try dripping water into her eyes...im sure there is another "salution" you can use but i've never had this happen to my leos, good luck with her

Find a good herp vet. Also, it might not be a cataract, some parasites live on the surface of the eye and can make the eye go cloudy.

Gecko's are not snakes, they do not have a scale that covers the eyes, so it's not retained shed.
