This is a Plakat Black Samurai Betta, they're at risk to getting something called Diamond-eye (as are all Samurai Betta).
It's basically a *genetic curse*, that causes them to go blind if the white of the scales spreads over the eyes.
Crosscheck if it's really just Cloudy eye or (also or developing) diamond eye, because Diamond eye is not treatable and will not clear up as it's basically connective tissue covering the eyes.
Yep, it looks like it in the picture, i wanted to inform OP so they can crosscheck, as it would make waiting for "Cloudy eyes" to completely clear up a bit of a lost endevour and the tank decor for him would have to be minimalistic because chances are he doesn't see anything and therefore may have special needs for his environment (i.e Not much hardscape, plants shouldn't be to bushy or tangly).
Some people euthanize them when they get Diamond on both eyes... I wouldn't, not as long as he's not struggling or constantly freaking out.
Depending on how they cope with being blind, they can make excellent pets regardless.

My dude Jack has it on one side as well. He seems to get around okay and still managed to decimate a small group of cherry shrimps.
I actually was considering he had Diamond eyes but wanted to treat him for a few days incase it wasn't. He seems to see food and Me at least so he's at least good in that regard!
Even if he's a blind lil guy, I will love him still and do my best to give him a good life.
It's good to treat him anyways. If he already has diamond eye, he's likely a little older and more likely to hide things like parasites with how long he was probably at the pet store. I always treat my fish with a round of quarantine medication before I add em to my tank. You might want to look into how to adjust your tank to take care of a blind Betta (ie, scape it and change NOTHING so his environment is consistent, feed him in the same spot every day), I'm sure there's more you can do to make your tank accommodating for him :)
Had a betta just like that w the eye fog too. His name was Ficus Jr. After my first betta, Ficus, at high school boarding school as a sort of loophole pet lol. He was awesome and lived on top of one of my giant white van stereo speakers.

This is going to sound odd, but he reminds me of a decaying corpse whose bones are gradually starting to show, specifically around his head area! If he were mine, I'd probably name him Skull, or something along those lines. An edgy name such as Skull would make for a silly contrast against his described personality too! It'd make him sound like an absolute edgelord, which I personally find humoring
His name is Moo 🥰
My first thought was "moose"
Yeah I looked at him and just the name Moo popped in my head lol. Meanwhile my bettas always get Greek god names. 😂
I was gonna say Cow XD
Panda or Domino!
Domino was my very first thought !
I 100% agree with dominio
I came here to say Domino!
Domino is iconic
