lion fish with cloudy eye

Hi everyone
I have this beautiful lion fish and he has had this cloudy eye for about three weeks. I have tryed seachems fulmacon or some thing like that 2 boxs so far it cleared a little then came back then went to phishy's he suggested sulfathiazol. the first treatment it cleared a little I put in the second and it is worse than when I started and it looks like hes going to die if this is not cleared up soon.
any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks Harold

Cloudy eyes can be linked to other diseases or parasites. What are your tank levels?

Sounds like he has a bacterial infection of some kind which is leading to the cloudy eyes. Are you noticing any other things wrong with him such as heavy breathing or anything?

hes not breathing fast but long and drawed out breaths and just laying on the bottom. the medications i am using say they cover a multitude of bacterial infections what else could be wrong?

Have you trued dosing Melafix? I believe it is reef safe but wait for others to confirm it's reef compatability.
