 Discus Fish Eye Problems:  

Causes Of Symptoms: Cloudy cornea, opaque lens, pop eye, swelling, blindness.

•     Cloudy cornea can occur as a result of a bacterial invasion. Antibiotics may help.
•     Opaqueness can happen as a result of poor nutrition or a metacercaria invasion (grubs). Administer foods with added vitamins and changing the diet to include variety.
•     Pop eye (exophtalmia) has known to occur as a result of rough handling, gas embolism, tumors, bacterial infection, or vitamin A deficiency. Gas bubble or bacterial infection can successfully be treated with penicillin or amoxicillin.
•     Blindness can also be caused by poor nutrition or excessive light. Lowering the light level and a change of diet to include lots of variety can help prevent it.
