Only time will tell now that you have it.Give the big guy a day or so to settle in and then do a good water change and hopefully the eye will clear up soonafter.In the mean time see if you can find out from the previous owner how long the eye has been in that condition.

If it is the cornea, it will clear up but if it is the lens, (eyeball) then it's blind.

I think it is like human having scleral melanocytosis, if that can be remove, the fish can see again.

Your doctor won't see the dat unless it is included in your health insurance.

If the previous owner told you it's blind, then most likely it's blind
