Hello
It seems from the history that you are long time contact lens wearer and you are having cloudy cornea.
This can be because of side effect of long term contact lens usuage or because of corneal dystrophy or corneal degeneration.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly. The treatment depends on the severity of the disease and in most severe cases the treatment is by keratoplasty.
Thank you
