You king snake has blurry eyes because it is getting ready to shed it's skin(grow).
Please make sure you have some rough driftwood and a rough rock so he can rubb against them to help him do this ,also plenty of water and keep it moist.
Don't try and feed it during this time,it won't eat what it can't see well.
I just had a ball python that couldn't shed a small piece of skin off it's right eye she didn't eat for three months
I took a new soft tooth brush and some baby oil,and scrubbed the skin on her head and around her eye,gave her baths and on her next shed all that old skin came off and she see's great and is back to eating.
if you keep it supplied with water,moist you shouldn't have that problem,don't forget blurry eyes are normal and soon they will be clear.

as i fellow snake keeper i can tell you that your snake maybe about to shed its skin it may not eat till it has completed its shed. your snake maybe a bit cranky while its in shed and may even go to bite you but it is only defending itself cos as it sheds the skin over its eyes they will become cloudy/blue and in turn will make the snake a tad blind. once it has completetly shed its skin remove the skin and see if it has shedded its eye caps as this can be a problem for some snake and you may need to help it if it hasnt shed the eye caps you really should take it to a local vet or exotic pet shop so they can do it for you as it can be a delicate thing to do plus the snake will be quite mad at you even though you are helping it lol (been bitten plenty of times off my snake while helping her remove her eye caps lol). if your snake has difficulty removing its skin you can always try what i do and that is place your snake in a container of water for around 20mins to allow the skin to soften then just gently roll the skin off a bit like rolling a stocking down someones leg haha

Your snake is in "blue". This is when your snakes skin is getting ready to loosen and your snake will shed soon. It will be cranky and not eat until after its shed. Please consult a pet store for specific advice as how to help your snake shed properly. An improper shed can make your snake ill or even die.

Snakes' eyes can become dull or discolored when they're about to shed their skins. This is probably what is happening to yours.
