Has the fish been recently purchased or have you owned him some time? Unfortunately from your posting I would say his prognosis is not good. I would reccomend putting fish to sleep. Can you please advise on what filtration and maintainance you undertake so we can help you prevent this occuring again.

Is it just the one eye, it may just be damaged from bumping into something throught a sudden shock.

Check the water. Dirty water is the main causes for many diseases..
