swollen eye

How long have you had the puffer? And, have you added any any other fish to the tank recently? What are your water readings? Size tank? Is it a FO? And, do you have a separate hospital tank for treatment?
Since the eye is swollen, it is likely a bacterial infection. This will need to be treated with Maracyn2 for Saltwaterfish. When did the symptoms start and how is the fish doing otherwise? Are there any other parculiar symptoms?

I had him about 3 weeks now. It's a 75 gallon tank and he was the only fish I put in the tank after the damsels cycled the tank. The salt level, ammonia, Ph, nitrate and nitrites are all at the required level. I'm new at this so I don't know what a FO is. It just came onto him about 3 days ago. He is fine other than the eye basically. He seems to hide alittle more now than before. I do not have a hospital tank. I really appreciate your help.
