This could be due either to a corneal ulcer or an early stage corneal sequestrum. Please find more information about this disease here: https://www.ndsr.co.uk/specialist-referral-service/pet-health-information/ophthalmology/corneal-sequestrum. Other differentials would include superficial keratitis. The eye must be assessed by your local veterinarian as soon as possible.
