So my friend got a molly and once they moved they gave it to me. When I got it, it had a little bit of flim around its eye...I checked the water and everything was normal and the temp is too. Now both eyes are almost completely covered and one eye is starting to bulge out a little more than usual. I had a Molly that had this before and I cured it...but it has been a while and I have forgotten how. Can anyone name this and maybe know how to cure it?
By the way it is still eating normally and swims what seems normal for a molly.
 
It sounds like a bacterial infection to me, which is caused by poor water quality.
I would recommend for you to increase the amount of waterchanges on the tank, and keep a close eye on Ammonia, Nitrate and Nitrite levels in the tank.
Try to not feed the fish as much. 
Could also be because the tank is not big enough.
 
Here are a list of possible problems, as well as their symptoms and treatments. I hope this will help you :)

Thank you so much one eye is already looking better and the one that was bigger is already shrinking! Thanks again for the advice :)
