Paraguard is not a treatment only for parasites, it is also for bacterial infection. My trigger popeye was caused by an injury, but it was getting infected, why the Paraguard.

I have never treated or dosed anything and it always heals up in about a months time.
Also trying to net a fish with a swollen eye can result in further damage to the eye.
