Blue tang eye swollen

[swimfan]

I had a similar experience with a naso tang. In my case it turned out to be flukes. Not sure if that is the case with yours. Just one more option you can look into. Hope I'm wrong

Flukes in eyes usually happen on both eyes, not only one. Also usually flukes cause the eyes to be cloudy, not swollen.

Both of the eyes on the naso had flukes, actually the fish had flukes all over. Only realized it once I started treatment of prazipro. I initially thought it scuffed its eye, because it was swollen and cloudy. A day into the treatment you could see flukes coming off everywhere. The tang's other eye never swelled or went cloudy.
