A member asked:
Can there be any eye diseases that can result in death?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are some malignancies of the eyes which can lead to death if not treated. All other eye diseases may lead to blindness and may be associated with systemic diseases that could be lethal. Of course blindness may lead to accidents and suicide so the death is incidental but not caused directly.
