    hi fishwhisperer. In my experience eye fungus is normally a secondary infection that expresses itself after other infections are already present, or it is caused either by poor water conditions. Have you tested your water? Whats the nitrates like? Oh and it will help if you can check for any other signs of bacterial infection in the tank. What species of fish in your tank are infected with this?

    Hello Fishwhisperer

    This sound like a Eye Fungus
    You can use things like Aquari-Sol or any other anti fungal treatment that You can get Your hands on.
    I have never personally had this problem. Maybe somebody else on this site can give You more in depth help that worked for them.

    I had it on one of my angels a while back. I just put him into QT tank and did 30-40% water change everyday to make sure he had pristine water perameters. Cleared up in a week.
