Ouch....looks like a bad case of popeye. Get yourself some Maracyn II and treat the fish in a quarantine tank if you've got one. If you don't have a q-tank, it should be ok to treat the tank that it's in. Here's what the box looks like:

MARDEL SW MARACYN-2 16TAB

It could be that it scratched its eye on some rock or something and bacteria set in. Either way, it needs to be treated asap.

It should not, no. Some people may argue that the medication will kill some or all of the "good" bacteria in your tank but I have treated my full reef tanks countless times with Maracyn II with absolutely no ill effects. If your fish was eating, I would suggest just soaking its food with the meds but that's not the case. Just follow the instructions on the box and good luck!
