Things that seem like severe handicaps to us barely seem to bother them. I have several fish that are missing eyes and a Curviceps that was born without any trace of a tail, and all of them are as healthy and vigorous as the non-handicapped fish. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Just damn bad luck sometimes. Just occasionally something dietary can be missing that causes the integrity of eye tissues to suffer, and vitamins c & e can be used to counteract it. One off's are usually just unlucky injuries. If another happens you might want to see which fish are being particularly brusque and dominant and possibly seperate them, or start looking into infections.
