cloudy eyes can be caused by either bad water quality, bacterial infection or something else (I forgot lol).

now, the first thing to do, is check your water parameters.

then, do a water change (50-75%) and after replacing the water, add salt - 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water.

do daily water changes of 50% (remember to replace the salt) and see if the fish improves.

if not, you should use the appropriate medication, go to your lfs and just look. just about every medication for cloudy eye is effective so doesn't really matter which one you buy (just make sure it's safe for sensitive fish or use half of recomended dosage and remove your carbon).

melafix or pimafix doesn't do **** for me.

it shouldn't be that big of a deal. cloudy eyes should be easy to fix. don't freak out (unless it's a parasitic infection or a prolonged problem which can blind your fish).
 
cloud eye is normally a sign of high nitrates, so you may want to keep the nitrates below 40ppm but below 20ppm would be even better...
