Eye issues aren't something to mess with. There are no OTC eye drops or home remedies that will treat cataracts or whatever the issue with your cat's eye is.

Your cat's eyes look fine in the last two pictures. I'm not seeing any whiteness, just a reflective light spot.

See if you can get financial help from one of these organizations: No Money For Vet Care? How To Find Help And Save Your Cat’s Life – TheCatSite Articles

Ask family and friends if they can help with a vet bill.

The top pictures do seem to show some clouding, but it isn't visible in the last two. Yes, cats can get cataracts. No, nothing over the counter will help with it. There are other things that could be happening as well, and each of them requires a vet. I am so sorry that there's no good news there for you. However, should it be cataracts, and should you NOT be able to get them treated, your cat will lose her vision very slowly, and will adapt to being blind far easier than you will adapt to her being blind.
