I read salt has little effect on discus best to bring your temp up to like 88 (slowly) and do extra water changes I wouldn't do really big ones maybe daily smaller changes like 25% or so if they don't eat don't feed them the food will only poison the water good luck I've had a couple get sick before and got them to pull through so there is hope!

Cloudy eyes is normally a symptom of PH variation, were they properly acclimatised to your tank or just added straight in?

Honestly I would just keep the heat up the water clean keep them as stress free as possible maybe pray a little and hope for the best. Keep us updated. Discus are hardier then people think but it's always the first couple of weeks that are sketchy. Out of curiosity what is your waters ph/ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels at?
