I would start with a 5 min FW dip to see if any flukes detach: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/freshwater-dip.248898/

Welcome to R2R!!I noticed my clownfish has a cloudy eye this morning. It is acting normal and eating well. Should I treat the eye or watch it for a few days??
If the eye is cloudy and swollen up (which it appears to be) and since its only one eye not both, It could be a bacterial infection of some sort. Do you have a quarantine tank set up for your fish? I would do a freshwater dip and move him over to quarantine for observation and treat with antibiotics and see if he improves

Yes these 2 can be mixed together. Best to administer GC one day and Furan the next.

Hi I have a clown that is having fin rot and signs of brook. along with cloudy eye.
Ive done formailin dips, FW dips and the QT tank has Fuan2 and General Cure in it.
Is there anything else I can do? The eye seems to be healing up... but hard to tell. its only one eye.
Fish not eating now...
Today, I did a 30% water change and add a little Metroplex... not sure the GC is really working all that well.
I am not sure I really need the general cure I guess. I think both GC and Metro can treat Brook in the tank.
Any advice??? No pics yet...
Im going to go home and check on the fish...

Also, can I administer Epsom salt, which I heard will reduce the swelling and help too?
Seems like epsom salt is fairly harmless, but always concerned when I mix more than one thing in the QT
