If water quality issues have been ruled out or resolved, Erythromycin meds are supposed to be great for helping eye issues.

The needle idea has never worked for me and ive tried it hundreds of times. The best treatment is do dose it with Maracyn 1 -Erythromycin, in a treatment tank.
If you can post a picture, I might be able to give you a better idea as to the prognosis.
