how healed missing eyes look like?

[Crono]

Have you tested your water?

No

If I did not test my water...

...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.

Do you do water changes?

Yes

What percentage of water do you change?

51-60%

How frequently do you change your water?

Every two weeks

If I do not change my water...

...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.

few weeks ago, fish got popeye. move to a quarantine tank and add medicine, sadly eye popped off, gone.

I read that once fish eyes gone, they're gone for good and will not regrow back. but fish can still survive even with missing eye(s).

Once the eye itself is gone, scar tissue will quickly fill the orbit (socket), and within a matter of several weeks, the orbit will be filled with new tissue.'

and also

The nerve can't be healed, and vision loss can't be restored. That's not the case for fish, which can regenerate their optic nerve in as little as 12 days and regain their eyesight 80 days after an injury.

how does this scar tissue heal look like? and regenerate optic nerve?
(still hold it in a quarantine tank)

I've been keeping fish for a very long time and had fish that lost their eye and that was it. Popeye or Cloudy Eye can be treatable.

Sadly a fail cure.
Anyway, after losing their eyes and that was it? There is no regenerate/fill up the hole?
What with scar tissue heal, & optic nerve regenerate?

Fish already in max healed condition, no more than this?

Yes from my experience there was nothing more than the eye socket.

the perfect eye heal, no more than that.
alright, thanks for the info.

Spoiler: should had create in the new post

ah ****, now what!?
few hours after transferring fish back to the main tank, it swims erratically. head down while tail up.
water changed a day ago as the other fish in the main tank are fine.
back to quarantine tank + medicine... swim bladder?

For the eye to truly heal, it has to be pretty light damage.
Here’s a Leporinus that had half of its eye but out:

The damage healed over, but the fish can not see out of it.
