This Female angelfish (3y.o.) began developing this popeye appearance approximately 7 days ago-Water values are normal-No other fish are affected. Any opinions would be welcome!

Test nitrate. Also, how much air is going in the tank? Might be too much.

If nobody else is affected I'd remove your female and treat her in another tank with fresh clean treated water. Treat with a bacteria infection treatment.

If she has had any injury lately the infection could have traveled to her eyes.

One eye can often be from an injury.
Both eyes are usually a bacterial infection.
