Foggy Rabbit eyes can have several causes - trauma, infection, parasitic infestation etc...
Sometimes the eye will clear out on its own. I would prevent the eye lids from sealing it shut and see if it gets worse.

If the kit is only two weeks old, it could be the classic "nestbox eye". You can use warm black tea or chamomile tea as a compress, being careful not to damage or irritate the eyelid. An antibiotic eye ointment such Terramycin can be helpful too. We found some on eBay at a very reasonable price.
