One of my parrot's eyes appears partially milky and he is unable to see from that eye. The other eye is fine.

Looks to me like your parrot has a cataract in his eye. Basically, it's a decrease in opacity of the lens in the eye, which appears like a milky white cloud, that can lead to decreased vision or blindness.
Usually this is a sign of age, but that typically means in both eyes. If it's just the one, there could be additional health concerns. In either case, seeing a vet that has avian experience is simply a good idea here. There's really no treatment for cataracts (though surgical lens removal is a possibility), but if the cause is something other than age, you want to stop it before the other eye is affected.
As a note, a bird can still lead a good and happy life when blind, it's obviously just a bit more work.
