Not unusual to see as they are somewhat clumsy, glass surf often injuring their eye and even in excitement when fed. this appears to be an injury and is best treated in quarantine using Maracyn AKA maracyn 1 0- Not maracyn Oxy for at least 5 days with added aeration using air stone. Ruby Rally Pro will work in display tank but take longer. Maracyn is best bet

Is the puffer still eating well? Only the right eye is affected? If so, I would say this is mechanical damage to its eye. Not sure how/why this would have happened, but if there are no other symptoms, it should heal on its own in a month or so.
