Can you tell me what kind of illness that can cause blindness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A long list: The eyes can lose vision from inherited diseases, infections, trauma, and even systemic disease like diabetes, measles, etc. The list is very long although except for inherited and aging issues, most are treatable or correctable.
