Please help , Niger trigger fish with popeye

[Reefer3]

Hi , im in need of help, my Niger triggerfish has been inside a hole in live rock for more then a week and has not eaten anything for more then a week he came out of his hole this morning with both eyes bulging out his eyes arent grey but have their normal coloration but he is blind to both eyes so I went to a local fish store and bought penacillin antibiotic tablets i put him into a isolation tank and put the dosage needed , i orally fed him and he eat ,he is moving around but cannot see , is their a chance he will regain his eyesight with treatment in a few days or is their no chance , thank you And my water parameters are good, he is able to move his eyes , and I keep the water temp at 80 degrees

You have responses from this on other places...what else did you need that made you post the same thing again last night?

You are treating the pop eye and the trigger is eating. That is all good. Keep pristine water conditions and keep it as stress-free as you can and it should be okay. It will take time. I want to say the one time one of my angels had it, it took 2-3 weeks after starting treatment before it looked good again.
