My 5yr old Yellow Tang?

One of my Yellow Tang's eyes is cloudy. Does anyone know what this can be? And a possible treatment.

IMO It can probably be the onset of a debilitating disease, or parasitic attack (e.g., Cryptocaryon irritans), an indication of poor water quality (ammonia), or nothing. On the nothing? side, it could be the fish injured the eye in a mild fight with a tankmate, net damage, ran into some decoration in the tank, or managed to pick up a mild bacterial infection.

If you still have the problem try epsom salt which you get in a drugstore.
A level teaspoon per ten gallons of actual water volume.

Just an update, the Tang's eye has completely cleared up. Must have run into something in the tank. Thanks for the help gang.
