Looks like popeye.
Usually bacterial.
Fish in the picture looks like a tetra not a molly..Possibly a serpae?
 
The fish inbetween the plants at the back is a dalmation mollie.
 
It's not swimming in the picture just chilling in the back.
 
Got a better picture.

I didn't see him on the gravel at all !
If the eye is protruding there is likely a bacterial issue or possibly some form of osmotic shock to cause gas behind its eye.
Mollies like hard water and can develop issue if kept in soft water..
