Could have flukes in the eye. Do a 5 min FW dip and see if any fall out: https://humble.fish/freshwater-dip/

If you see flukes, you'll need to treat with Prazipro 2x 7 days apart.

Sounds like the one tang is blind and nothing you can do will correct it. If you notice head twitching or shaking or what I would describe as yawning then I would suspect flukes like Humblefish mentioned
