Answer
Sounds like your rat has a cataract.. its the same thing people get, as long as her eye doesn't dry out I don't see a problem.  if her eye is getting dry get her some sterile eye drops.. saline solution to keep it moist.. but if it gets worse I would take her in to a vet to get it checked out.
Hope that helps some
