Cloud eye and ich

[rsalinas5]

Is it possibel to have ich and cloudy eye at the same time? My lionfish is in the begining stages of ich, I THINK. He has some white spots, but not many. He also has both eyes clouded as well as my yellow tang has his/her left eye. They both have been in my tank for about 3 wks. I started dosing my tank w/ ich- attack, which is organic. Will this help w/ both ich and cloud eye? If any one can please help!! I currently only have those 2 fish, and would really hate to lose them.

Fish with ich often get secondary infections, cloud eye is one of them. They tend to rub on the rocks and substrate in an effort to rub off the parasites, which results in their eyes also getting scraped. The infection is not a major cause for concern unless it is really bad. What else is in the tank besides the two fish?

There is nothing but the fish, sand and live sand. Can u tell if the meds i put will help both the eye cloud and ich? i pretty worried, would hate to lose my first 2 fish.
