I can't see from my left eye as i suffered optic nerve damage 2 month ago. can it be cured with surgery?

No: Damage to the optic nerve can not be undone. What was the reason you have optic nerve damage? If you have an ongoing reason for optic nerve damage, you should be followed by an ophthalmologist.
