Gem tang eye issue

[Tangdome]

What is going on with our gem tangs eyes and is this permanent? We have had this fish for about three weeks. It definitely had some travel stress, and has not been eating great. We noticed some white raised bumps on both its eyes + cloudiness and assumed a possible fluke issue. Does not have any visible signs of white ich on the body. The cloudiness has continued to get worse. Did a FW dip and treating with prazi currently. Does any one have any ideas on what we are dealing with? Not sure if this gem is blind at this point & can even see. It has started eating a bit more the past few days but I have to drop the food right in front of its face. Feel bad for the little gem.

Both eyes are cloudy? If so, it is probably damage from flukes (Neobenedenia). The FW dip will buy you some time and the prazi will help kill the parasites in the tank. I can't see any ich spots, but it could also have that issue as well.

How are you applying and using the prazi treatment?
