A couple of weeks ago i noticed one of my albino Cory had lost an eye, Then the following week it lost the remaining one. I have been watching my fish carefully ever since just in case this was caused by Popeye or some other disease. But I haven't seen any repeat of this in any of the other fish. So I'm beginning to think it was attacked by another fish. The Cory actually looks quite spooky swimming around with no eyes. But by its behavior you would think it had never used its eyes any way. I think I'm right in thinking that all albino animals have poor eye sight, so that might be true that it has never used its eyes before. During feeding time it's just as active as all the other Cory's and always finds the food. 
, So i have medicated the tank just in case it is some kind of disease. I really don't like using meds, because of the negative affects they have on the filter media. I have purchased a fresh bottle of StressZyme just in case i get a ammonia spike because of the meds.
