You need to test the water and make sure that's okay. Since it's only one eye, can you rule out physical damage? Post some photos if possible. Tell us what you feed your Oscar and how big the tank is?

Apart from that, it's difficult to advise you until we know a little bit more about your situation.

As OFL says test your water conditions for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.

If the eye is only cloudy then i would treat with large daily water changes followed a daily treatment of an anti bacteria liked myxazin.

If the eye is bulging as well as cloudy i would treat the same however the outlook is not so good(from my personal experience)

This has been answered in your thread in the emergency forum. Lots of water changes until your nitrates are below 40. Your ammonia should be zero, are you cleaning the filter often enough and do you have enough filtration (should be rated for a tank twice the size you have)
