Unfortunatly it's very hard to treat a single fish in a display tank. It's probably equivilent to spraying antibiotics in aerosol form around the house to get rid of an infection. Extremely unlikely you will ever receive enough medication to have any effect. Just keep providing a healthy tank and food and with any luck things will turn out for the poor guy.

I had a yellow tail damsel live for at least 10 years AFTER losing an eye. If he seems otherwise healthy and continues to eat well, I would leave things alone.

Untamed, you have senior experience ( with your giant tank  ) on Canreef, if you say so I guess I will not bother to find out how to treat my angel anymore. He is eating well and very active, hope he can live for another 10 years like your little damsel. Anyway, I still feel bad though  ... poor little handsome guy ...

Most of the time, cloudy eyes are a cause of a bacteria infection, injury, or water conditions.
Was it one eye or 2? If 1 eye it was caused by a injury, and the bacteria has "infected" it. With my experiences in FW & SW, I find the best treatment is to give the fish the best diet. Use additives like garlic & selcon to improve its diet. Also water changes will help, as the better the water the better the chances. I also use a product by Marc Weiss, called "Immunal Vital", it helps with stress and increases the fishes immunity. Ken - BWA

He only got 1 cloudy eye. You are so right about water condition and injury causes the problem. I had ich in my tank about a couple months ago, but now all the fish have recovered, only this poor guy scratching himself too much at that time and somehow injured his eye and getting worse day by day. I will use Immunal Vital for him, if I can find it here. It might be too late now but better than nothing. At least I know I have tried my best to rescue his eye.
Thank you so much. Ken.
