Have you cleaned this tank,, AS IN the filter?? VAC the gravel?? most eye infections come from bad water condtions.. 5 Oscars?? how big is this tank??  OK answer these questions:::

1. Did/Have you clean the filter WITHIN one week of the problem showing up??
2. ANY meds you have used??
3. HOW big is this tank??
4. HOW big are the Oscars??

POP EYE is the eye is poped out of his head like.. Cloudy eye is just that, a cloudy apearance in the eye.. SO is this POP-EYE or CLOUDY EYE??

A good cleaning of this tank will do wonders for the eye.. BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU A MED TO USE UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE USED TO TREAT THEM WITH!!
