That looks like pop eye. To medicate it put it in it's own tank, Clean water and good water condition will help. Pop-eye can also be caused by hormonal imbalance, for which there is no cure.
For more info I'm not really sure ...
 
Is it one eye or both? If it only one its most likely not pop eye. Pop eye is a build up of fluid behind the eyes caused by a bacterial infection. Is the eye itself 'popped out' or has it just got the sore/blister?
I don't have any experience with this but I can get you some articles that might help with treatment options.

Guy at LFS said not to worry. I am thinking injury. He has gotten them before. Makes me wonder. I am going with the wait and see approach. I will report back in a few days. Thanks.
