Bubble Eye

[Banzai Bandit]

I have a Dominoe Damsel with a left bubble eye. What is the cause and cure? I have a 55gal hex with LR.
TIA,Mike

Hi:
do you mean popeye?, or do you mean there is a small bubble under the conjunctiva of the eye?...these are two very different things. If you can identify that infact the whole eye sticks out (like one of those weird lookinf goldfish) or the other I mentioned we can suggest some remedies. The former is usually a bacterial infection caused by trauma, or its swelling caused by tramua...either way it is treatable, the second(a gas bubble)is usually a sign of mild conjunctivitis, or or gaseous buildup in the vitrious-which is less treatable.
Any ideas which it is
