IDK looking at the pics you posted and some other pics on the net it is hard to tell what yours has that looks different. The pics are a tad fuzzy. To you think you could get a better and close picture and also post a picture of his other eye?
Did the eye ever look Normal? Certainly could have had a mishap and lost an eye I guess. If it is swimming normally and not bumping into things, and can see well enough to feed with the other fish I would suggest it would live out its life without too many problems.

I'm sorry, I would have gladly answered your question if I knew the answer

As Spanko said a better pic may help someone to see what the issue is.

The picture does make it tough to be very helpful. If its eye is missing, I'd get him qt'd quick. He will be vulnerable to any other hungry fish that smells/sees the damaged flesh and will get picked to death.

I disagree here, I would not stress the fish anymore than it may already be. Chasing it with a net and acclimating to a new tank would bee too much IMO.Keep up feeding, make sure you use a good vitamin like Selcon or Zoecon. Other than that there is not much you can do.

I had an angel that had got its' mouth damaged in a tussle with an angel. Overnight, with the moonglows on, its' face up to its' eye sockets were eaten off and the other fish were still picking and eating when I got up the next morning. If we went with that logic, we wouldn't QT our sick fish either-the added stress might finish them off, also. A serious injury makes them incredibly velnerable. They are more likely to die from predation than stress.
