Seeing its one eye and no ther notable issues, looks like a result from scratch or injury.
In a seperate quarantine tank, treat with maracyn AKA maracyn 1 for at least 5 days. Other option is seachem kanaplex

You’re correct - one eye damaged like this is usually due to an injury and the issue can be self-limiting. If the fish shows other symptoms like not eating well, the eye getting worse, etc. follow the treatment mentioned above.
