my clown has a cloudy eye

[trainfever]

I was looking at my tank today watching my Occellaris swimming against the current as she normally does. Then I dropped some food in and when she swam to the top I could see that the one eye has become a milky gray. The other eye is black as normal. Does anyone have any idea what this is and how I can care for it? Ive had the fish for about 5 years.

That's an eye infection. Is it popped out? Is this a new fish, have you netted it recently, or done some tank maintenance recently?
Try doing small daily water changes over the next few days, just a 1 to a few gals daily (depending on the size of your tank). Additionally, feed the fish 3x a day with food that is briefly soaked in freshly minced garlic.
It that doesn't work, the fish will need a quarantine tank and treatment with Maracyn Two for Saltwater fish.
