How long have you had this fish? What are your water conditions readngs.
You may need to proceed to antibiotic treatment at this point. Do you have a QT?

In the 4 years Ive had my tanks Ive never added chemicals to any of them.just a week ago I restarted my protien skimmer, I seen in a book today that could be a reason for his eyes I shut it off. my local lfs doesnt have great test kits I will get one the best one I can And do tests. At night time his eyes the swelling goes down but in the morning they swell back up.

Post up all of your water readings as soon as you can. Including nitrate, pH as well as ammonia and nitrite.
When is the last time you did a water change? Will be QTing the fish and treating with antibiotics if necessary? How's he doing at this point?
