the fish is acting and eating as usual. Don't know why she got that eye infection, could it from the nam.?
If it is stringy looking it is a fungus and you can use an an anti-fungal product and use garlic extract soaked foods.

If it is not it is probably bacterial and the only product I would personally use is neomycin which is effective in saltwater. Most other antibiotics are not effective in saltwater.
Good Luck
