If possible, take a picture.
You'll also need to describe it a little better.
Such as:
Is it a white circle on the scales, around the eye like a patch of
white goo, is it a fuzzy white patch around the eye, is the eye it's
self turning hazey, around the eye,etc?

This is a fairly thin white line on the eye itself, the outside edge
of the eye? If this is the case I suggest you change some of the water
and see if the condition doesn't disappear in a couple days. Something
like 30-40% of the water or thereabouts.

Thanks guys.
Actually I think it was a water problem.
I changed all the water, cleaned the tank and added some BettaFix.
Now Don Chichiotte (my betta) came (slowly... ) back :)
