What is the best way to treat pop eye? It's on both of my fishes eyes, so that means its internal bacterial? What do I do?

I treated mine with clean water.... And melafix. I don't know if which worked but the pop eye was caught early when it first starting popping. Be careful though I've seen fish die from what the owners have done with pop eye more than the fish just loosing an eye and living

Melafix would only help if it was because of an injury. Both eyes say its very possibly because of dirty water but also possibly because of a bacterial infection. I would start with daily water changes. I have not had success in treating it when its bacterial.
 
I can't check them ATM I will have to check when I get back home. He looks horrible though.

I'm heading home soon. Would raising the temperature and doing a w.c be my best bet right now?

Water changes yet but if it is bacterial raising the temp is only gonna make it worse.
