need help i dont know if it is just my boys issue with bulging eyes or if it is a health problem, maybe has something to do with water quality.

Have you checked your ammonia, nitrite, nitrate? If you suspect the problem is water quality, the only way to tell is if you test.
 
i meant my it as a question as is this possible or common. ? lol i read it again and laughed.. but ya i do regular water changes but will 4 sure buy a test
 
Well, yes. Pop-eye, and for that matter, most fish "diseases," are caused by poor water quality. So you need to test your water. It is most definitely the cause. And the reason I stated this is because most Oscars don't have bulging eyes. It is almost always related to water quality.
 
my osacr just had pop eye disease a couple weeks ago and i used myxazin, which worked great....it can be picked up at your lfs....
