How far away are we with cure for blindness? i lost my right eye when i was 3 years old from coats disease
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry for your loss: Unfirtunately blindness has many causes , the commonest is glaucoma, with its several types, so a single cure for all these causes is far from reach, at least in our lifetime. Kindly keep the regular follow-up with your ophthalmologist for the health of your left eye, although Coats' won't affect it, yet other problems, like any other person, can still affect it, wish you well and good luck
