Have any of you seen a "pimple" on an eye?? + eye concern

Hi, quiete impossible to say something without seing the eye in natural condition and with an ophtalmoscope.
If the spot is just superficial on the cornea, it will help to put a little iodine tincture (1/3 dilution) but carefuly after a smouth scraping.
If there is a collection bewind the cornea there is only a chirurgical treatment by a specialist, you should try to find a vet who operate eyes, I'm sure he will be interested to treat a fish..
If you suspect an infection because the spot is growing fast, you should inject some antibiotics like Nuflor or Marbocyl (fluoroquinolone).
The origin could be a trauma, a virus or even a metabolic problem with lipid collecting inside the eye.
Anyway, if the spot doesn't affect the koï and doesn't grow, I would do nothing.
Goood luck, Marco

Wow, this koi is going to be famous in more ways than one.
Saw this on NI and brought it over here thinking I might offer my 2 cents and see if anyone else might have seen it.
Koiczar, may I introduce myself as KK or Gary. The someone is me and the 'mumbo-jumbo' reference I take exception to, low blow.

Flounder, unless this koi has had refractive eye surgery, i would put corneal ectasia low on the list as well. Before this eye growth gets lanced, injected, snipped or bathed, I was just trying offer some practical insight that I have experienced with the human eye...that's it.

Phyllis, hope your beautiful koi gets better soon!!!

I was referring only to the medical terminology being used. Maybe the term mumbo-jumbo didn't fit as well as some other terminology but wasn't meant as a slight, only hoping someone (maybe you) could explain the medical terms used by you and post #9 so the rest of us laymen could get a better handle on it.

Oh, you can call me Jay or you can call me Ray, but my real name is Mike.
