Is this pop eye?

Have you tested your water?

Yes

If I did not test my water...

...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.

Do you do water changes?

Yes

If I do not change my water...

...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.

Most of my fish keeping experience has been in keeping Cichlids however, I do have a Channa Aurantimaculata and his eyes look enlarged, a bit like pop eye.

If this was a cichlids eye I would say 100% yes it's pop eye but being a snakhead I am unsure - does anyone know if this is normal?

lm not an expert in popeye but to me doesn’t look like it most fish do have a protective dome around their eyes, I would keep an eye and try to remember if his eye was always like that
