Exegesis
The verse opens with a verb-first clause, vattekhah {וַתֵּ֣כַהּ | wat·tē·ḵāh} ‘and it grew dim’, which places the deterioration in the foreground before naming the affected organ, eini {עֵינִ֑י | ʿê·nî} ‘my eye’.
In context — Job 17:7
My eye has grown dim from grief, and all my limbs are like a shadow.
