Hi and welcome to the forum

It's not a bacterial, fungal or protozoan infection.
It's not physical damage.

It looks like 2 parasitic worms, one on each side of the eyeball.

Praziquantel treats tapeworm but there are other types of worms that are unaffected by Praziquantel.

I would try Flubendazole (deworming product) and see if it helps. If it doesn't then either consult a fish vet or wait till it gets worse, then euthanise the fish.
