I am fairly new to keeping Discus and they all have been doing really well up until recint when my one snakeskin started getting cloudy eyes, well I removed and quarintine and treated with salt as what was recomended from a good friend who has keep discus for many of years said it prob just bumbed its eye and salt should be fine treatment.

It has been a week or so now and still no improment and now I have noticed that another fish in my tank is getting cloudy eyes as well, So my question is what other treatment do any of you recomend?

Here is also a pic of it.

is that you qt tank ? how much salt did you put in?
it should be nothing in there just 10G and filter. you can add up to 2 table spooons of salt and clean water (daily wc if you can)
 
No that is not my quarintine tank, The quarintine tank is a 30 gallon and the salt ratio I been using is 1 table spoon per 5 gallon. I have been doing daily water changes as well. temp is at 86' as well.
 
up the water changes in the main tank, both eyes going cloudy then a second points to poor water conditions (for discus) and not a bumped eye. If they are not improving lower the temp in the QT to 80 to slow down the bacteria and treat with something like Furan-2 or bifuran. Do daily 90% water changes and redose full strength.
