Cupramine and eyesight

I have noticed that my Potters in QT seems to be loosing his sight since I started treating with cupramine. He was eating great and now when I feed him he seems to miss the food when he is trying to eat. He still gets some but seems to peck around haphazardly.

Do you think I should stop treatment and see if anything changes?

This is weird.
 
I've never seen or heard of cupramine hurting a fish's eyesight before.

Is the eye cloudy? If so, it could be flukes and you can treat with Prazi-Pro.
Is the eye popping out? If so, then it's a bacterial infection and you can add some Maracyn 2 (minocycline).

If he's still eating, then I would just continue the treatment, but observe closely how things transpire.
 
His eyes are clear and seem totally normal. I have already treated with 2 doses of prazipro and almost 2 weeks of cupramine.
 
Anything else anybody can think of that could cause blindness? He was eating so good b4 and now not so good cause he acts like he can't find the food.
