What does it mean when the eye's iris turns cloudy and they shift back and forth as if they were blind?

She is hospice. I was looking to know if this is one of many signs that happen before transition

If this is a first time incident, contact your eye doctor and tell the answering service, even if it is a holiday weekend.  

But, first, has this person ever experienced this before?  Any other eye issues?   Any surgery, including cataract surgery?  Any injuries to the eyes?

Is this happening to you or to your mother?

Profile:

"I want to be aware of my rights as a POA for my mom. Im being pushed to sign for Medicaid help and admit my mom into a long term care facility. It’s against my moms wishes and I do not know if I’m in my legal rights to have time to become self aware to make that decision."

Sounds like you're both under a lot of stress.    I hope you can get in contact with an eye doctor ASAP.   

As to your profile, WHO is pushing you?    A facility? Family member?  Medical person?  

Medical questions are for medical doctors, and in this case for an eye doctor. Anything we say here comes under guesswork; we neither can examine nor imagine what you might be describing.
Make an appointment with eye doctor for check up and diagnosis.
Best of luck.

Is the person able to tell you if she can see or not? It may be an injury. Call a medical provider asap or bring her to urgent care if able or an ER.
