A member asked:
Can your eyesight ever return from having temporal artiritis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Temporal arteritis: Some recovery is possible but sadly, it could be very limited. That is why diagnosing and treating this disease in a timely manner is so critical. Ongoing treatment and monitoring under the care of your doctor can help protect the remaining vision.

Unlikely: It's not impossible but it is unlikely. Only 5-15% of patients who suffer visual loss from gca have any improvement in vision at all after the initial insult, and complete recovery is unusual.
