I noticed last night that one of my neons eyes are poping out a bit. Just seems to be the one. He doesn't seem to bothered about it, still eating and swimming about. Is there anything I can do to make this better?

Last night it seemed to have got a little better. I have not noticed his strip to have changed colour. I have 5 of them and some have lighter stripes than others but that has been so for a few months now but the one with pop eye actually has quite a bright red stripe.
 
When you say some have a lighter stripe do you mean the red looks bleached out.
