Answer
Hi Laura,
 Sadly I have had little success treating popeye over the years.  Basically, popeye is a complex symptom and it can result from all sorts of things. Typically it comes down to the fish being stressed, either by another fish or by water conditions, although other things may cause it as well.  I have never gotten it to recede.
