Thanks for reaching out. Not sure how when the lights were turned on, the fish responded when it had no eyes. Could the corneas be cloudy? This could be due to trauma from an aggressive fish, parasitic infestations, or infections. A veterinary visit would be recommended. If the one has no eyes, it needs to be humanly euthanized as can not find food and will starve to death or succumb to infection. Continue to test water quality and correct any problems. Good luck.
