i would do a much larger water change.. like 50% and i would add salt and i would clean out the filter media.. ASAP. actually, not in that order.. filter media first, water change second, salt last.

and i would do the water change and salt every day or every other day until the fish recovers. or at least heals.. usually once their eyes get that bad they are too far gone and they will be blind in that eye.

Ok so what i did was about 25 percent, then added salt and fresh water together, and then changed filters... I was in a panic and not thinking right..... AM I SCREWED????

no, you're not screwed.. change the filter media, or at least clean it out, change the water. be careful how much salt you add, it should never make your aquarium cloudy.

i've forgotten the measurement for the salt.. i think it's 1 Tablespoon for 10 gallons? i know that it equals 1 cup of salt for 100 gallons. and i usually replace the salt as i do water changes, every 3 water changes i add another cup of salt, because i usually change 30 - 40 gallons at a time in my large tanks.
