IME it seems that it does take a couple of weeks to kill the fish, and of course some are more or less susceptible than others. With new fish there is no way to tell when it got infected or how well it can fight off the flukes. So with new fish it is very important to catch this as early as possible.

Secondary infections and severe injury to the eyes also plays a major role.
