cloudy eye

Why do I have a great running tank then all of a sudden a fish has a cloudy eye? What causes this? All the years I have been keeping fish, I don't understand why this happens. I have excellent water conditions! Maracyn 2 only worsens the problem. So can anyone explain how to prevent this problem. Right now its my emperor angel. Last month my Baby Clown Trigger. I find fresh water dip is helping, but not preventing. These fish have been with me 8 months or so. It just seems to happen out of the blue. Anyone please advise.:help:

How are you dealing with the cloudy eye when it occurs?
Do you notice having done something different when this happens, like maintenace, water change, addition to tank?
 
Yes I did do a watechange and clean bottom before this happened. My Emperor had it before and I cured it with Freshwater dips and Benadine. The only problem is it comes back
