id sedate it remove the drooping eye cuz any of the nerves or anything just is for the eyesight so it shouldnt harm him/her then just let it heal in its own tank...nice job with gettin a one eyed fish.

That looks more than just an eye popped out.
I'm afraid I would have to end its misery. That fish is tore up.
Good luck treating it, Melafix, Pimafix and separate from the rest of the fish.

Trim the excess off and give him time. I had a bullhead get an eyeball plucked when he was about 1.5 inches. He is now over 6 inches and healthy as can be. As long as it was just the eye and it doesn't get infected he could still have a decent chance for survival.
