    At this stage keep up water changes, daily if possible.

    If they become worse in any way please post up a photo.

    Have you seen any sign of internal parasites?

    Any worms hanging from the vent or passing white segmented droppings?

    Round worms and tape worms require different treatment.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

    Looks like you may have internal parasites which is treated with Big L poultry&pig wormer at a rate of 1ml per 7 ltrs of tank water.
    This product can be purchased at some pet outlets which cater for the farming industry

    Sounds like eye flukes, get some Praziquantel and treat for flukes.
