I've got 2 Red eared sliders one male and one female and they are both currently in a 55g. and my female turtles eyes look like there swollen they've been this way for about 2 weeks now

Its usually a bacterial infection most likely due to water quality. I have learned this first hand...

You have two options, well thats my opinion. Go to your herp vet and get some antibiotic cream for the eyes. Or try what I did and get him into a quarantine tank with dechlorinated water (do this by leaving the water outside, if you know what I mean) then change the water as much as possible. I did this and in a week his eyes were normal and he started eating.

Good luck, and remember he can't eat if he can't se so get to work.
