I posted new images of the fish. I think it's healing well:

The eye is so much better. I think the fish is pretty well out of the
woods now.

How long does it take for fish like these to grow scales back? I'm
trying to figure out when I should return it to the pond.

I'll wait until the eye finishes clearing and the side wound is
basically healed (I see it shrinking), but it seems like scales might
take months to return. Given the large number of scales that are
missing, will it be ok to return the fish without those? I'd like to
get the fish back in the pond as soon as it's ready for that.
