Are you sure there is an eye problem? Catsharks will navigate a little differently than people assume about sharks. They also have eyes developed to reflected and magnify light - they are nocturnal hunters and see better at night than they do in the daytime. I would guess what you are seeing is the normal eye.

They lack the nictating membrane (eyelid) that some sharks have.
