Fogged over and puffed out eye

Usually from water quality issues. Would check that ASAP. If those are all in check meaning 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and under 40ppm nitrates then Maracyn2 will help but do a big water change prior to that.
Agreed, check the water parameters, but can you get a better picture of the eye? It also could be an injury, but I can't tell from the picture that you posted.
Water is good. 0 of nitrites, ammonia, and nitrates. I have done a big water change. I’m treating right now for ich, and I’m in post treatment now or whatever you wanna call it. No fish have symptoms anymore. So I am still just adding paragard for that. Here’s another pic, don’t know if it’s any better though. Had to take it between a plant cause he was in the back. I’ll try again later.
If thats true and ALL your parameters are reading 0 it might mean you have an un-cycled tank, unless it is extremely heavily planted...
One of the results of ick (especially if you have raised the water temp) is secondary bacterial infection, bacteria love high temps.
The eye looks as if bacteria have infected it to me.
In the event that your tank is not sufficiently cycled (cycling usually takes 6-8 weeks from the tank being filled with water), this is even more likely because the immune systems of your fish are compromised by the stress of a non-cycled system.
