Help my puffer's eye problem please!

I got this puffer delivered to me but he showed up in extremely cold water and the heating packs were dead. He looked completely dead on arrival but figured I should try to revive him anyway.

I put him in the QT and the next morning he was alive against all odds but had a TERRIBLE yellow bulbous growth-like thing on one of his eyes. Not white like cataracts but yellow and bubbled out. Here are some pics.

What can I do to help him? Anyone know what this is and how to help? It happened because he got so cold in shipping.

He's so cute I REALLY want to help this little guy.
 
Well now that I've studied it a bit I see that it IS inside the eye. It is like cataracts(sp?)...like a yellow cloud inside his eyeball.

He can't see through it.
 
He's eating and much healthier now but he's blind in that one eye.

It's too bad nobody has any suggestions or ideas.
 
Nobody has any ideas here? Out of all the experts I would've figured to get a couple suggestions at the least.
