Is this just a single eye "popeye" or both? I believe single eye to be more down to aggression or bashing into something in the tank.

Can you QT the Oscar in a seperate tank? Daily water changes of ~25%, Tolak is a firm believer in adding the new water without dechlorinator for 10 minutes or so (to act as a natural anti-bacterial) before adding dechlorinator to the tank later, meds should only become necessary if the wound looks to be infected.
