Cloudy eyes may be parasites or eye flukes. Pics please, don’t think it has to do with the silicone as long as you’ve used it before.
If the Silicone has a mold preventer in it that may be a issue.

Another issue is the type of silicone, he used silicone 2* but silicone 1* is better to use.
This fish lives alone has almost all of his life I've had it since October 31st of last year at 2 in is now 5 inches it's only an LS no plans no snails nothing but new tap water gets in its tank hi baby bass fish I highly doubt diseases an issue
Did you do any water changes after filling the tank but before adding the fish?
I have had much better success (100%) when using GE Silicone 2* if I rinse the tank out a couple times before adding fish/inverts. I think there are still solvents coming out of the Silicone 2* that are harmful to fish & inverts that do not evaporate out like the acetic acid in Silicone 1*.

I cleaned it with 50. 50. Water vinegar solution, filled it for a couple days emptied it then added water and the one fish. Tjanks
