What is the type of blindness caused by trauma or ageing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple causes: Blindness from trauma may be due to disruption of the globe/lens, retina, optic nerve or the brain. Blindness related to aging involves the same structures, but the processes are usually degenerative, inflammatory or compressive.
