A member asked:

Sudden vision loss in one eye after getting hit in it. what is prognosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ilan Cohen answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Variable: This depends largely on the location and severity of the damage in the eye. If you have any vision loss at all you should see an eye doctor immediately. Waiting almost always damages prognosis.
