Sorry for the crapy pictures. I tried taking them as fast as I can cuz I gotta run for work. But it's slightly white.
 
I haven't checked lately for my water parameters, but I do like a 25-45% water change weekly. I used to do it like every 3-4 days but work been really busy for me.

Thanks for replying
 
When you get time check them, only thing I could suggest is keep up with your wc's.
 
And maybe add a little regular aquarium salt. If it shows no sign of improvement after a few days you might want to try adding some sort of antibiotic that deals with bacterial infections.

Should I do a water change today and add aquarium salt too? Or just do water change every 2-3 days?

Thank you for all the suggestions guys
 
Personally, I would do a wc today and add some salt as well. What you seem to have is a slight bacterial infection of the tissue surrounding the eye causing "bacterial pop-eye". It's pretty common following an injury or in a tank with less then ideal water conditions. (along with a few other possible causes)
The salt should help quite a bit but you may have to treat the fish with an antibiotic like kanamycin, metro, furan 2, ect if there is no sign of improvement after a few days.
 
Thank u I'll do like a 50% water change today and add some aquarium salt.

Any tips on how much salt of I have a 65 gal tank with a 50% water change?

Thank u so much
 
I would use the standard dose of 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water to start off and then compensate for the salt level for replacement water after water changes. I would keep the salt level up until you see improvement, even if you medicate.
