Black Mollie Eye Trouble....
 
I have had these 3 black mollies for weeks with no problems what so ever...all the sudden(today) I notice this female with what looked like white above her eyes.. Got a good closeup....no Ich trouble and testing is spot on,,,,, the only thing I havent done for these Molllies is SALT... Its kind of a sore subject with my clown loach's and other salt sensitive fish plus the plants....Anyone now what that is? it came on overnight as far as seeing it....I do have a UV going right now only thing I have done different is plantfood?  83 degrees F

One of my platies has a similar looking cataract on his eye. From the research I've done, I think they're caused by either fungal infection or injury. If it came on overnight like that and hasn't spread to any other fish, an injury would be my best guess.
 
Congrats on the excellent closeup picture, btw. Neither my fish nor my camera ever want to cooperate for something like that
