This helps. Spots seem to be inside the lens of eye which would be cataracts. If its outside as you can see clearer than myself viewing a video, it would be neobenedenia flukes which cause white spots on the outer eyes of fish, but rarely affect clowns in which other fish would have same issue. I believe cateracts. You can try treatment in a separate tank using Maracyn which s ethromyacin and see IF any change.

I gave him a really long hard look, and I don't see any white spots, his eye is just puffy and its silvery, I bet he injured it on something. this wont kill him right?

That will be up to you. Any healing on its own can take as much as a month
