Yeah, I'd think an infection too but often theres a wound that starts it out, which possibly could be important.

Looks like a severe case of pop eye, this doesn't just "pop" up overnight. Google "pop eye" and see what you can dig up.

How big is the tank, what are the tank mates, how much filtration, what are you feeding...
