Cloudy eyed Niger Trigger-PLEASE HELP!

[evojoe67]

My Niger Trigger has a cloudy eye. I'm not really sure what's going on but would like any advice you can give me on treatment.
He still eats and swims around like normal but i want to treat this problem before it gets worse.
HELP!!!

At what flow rate are you running your uv? What is the wattage of the UV?

If it is bacterial or caused from some sort of stress a water change may help! How are your water parameters?

It also helps to know if the eye is protruding or not, if it is inflamed, etc. A picture would really help. Generally, if a single eye is involved, I look towards physical trauma first, with or without secondary bacterial infection. In some cases, the skin fluke Neobenedenia will show up as just a single cloudy eye, but as the disease progresses, both eyes will be involved. Most generalized bacterial and protozoan disease, if cloudy eyes are a symptom, will involve both eyes more or less equally.

Melafix or Marcyn 2 will heal cloudy eye. Make sure to feed well with garlic, selcon or zoecon. Make sure water parameters are good.
