One eye is usually an injury; both eyes are usually a bacterial infection.

For one eye injury, first step is to treat with a bath in methylene blue and then treat the QT or DT with plain USP epsom salts 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of tank water. Can re dose once more after a day or two. Can also treat in a 60-90 minute bath of Ruby Reef Rally.

For both eyes, erythromycin is the best antibiotic treatment.

I really appreciate your advise. It's only one eye so i will start your one eye injury treatment. it seems like her eye is getting worse and more swollen today.
