A member asked:
What is the likelihood you'll go blind from hydrocephalus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly unlikely if : your shunt is working well. If the cause of your hydrocephalus included damage to areas of the brain involved in receiving & processing visual input, that's another story. If you feel your visual acuity is diminishing, see your neurologist or neurosurgeon for evaluation & sign a release of your medical records for the ophthalmologist to whom you're referred.
