I have puffer, and got white salt like dots on his body, which seemed like ich, so i took him out of the tank for 3 days and treated him with Nox-Ich which has Sodium Chloride, and Malachite Green.
It seems like that got rid of the ich from what i can tell, but now the puffers eyes are white and he doesnt seem to really be able to see. Is there something i can do to help him? or is he going to just be blind now? Doesnt seem like he can really see as he just runs into thing, but he can tell light still.
Any help would be great.

I hope you treated him at half the reccomended dose since he has no scales. For the time being, there isn't much you can do but reduce the stress by lots of small water changes, and leaving the lights off. Reduce what you feed the tank in general so there is less fish waste in the water to irritate him.

It would help to know if you removed the carbon from the filters and how long ago you treated the fish. If you didnt remove the carbon from the filter the carbon pretty much wiped out the effect of the treatment. If you did remove it, try the treatment again and give it time.

Did you give him an overdose or underdose? I would wait one more day. If it doesn't clear, maybe give it some more.
