A member asked:
If a person gets blunt eye trauma but rather visits opthalmologist after 15 days of injury.whats the outlook if they have traumatic uveitis/iritis/hyphema.can you still recover without permanent damage to optic nerve if treatment starts at this stage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From your description, sounds like injury involved anterior eye, and if accurate, there would be NO damage to optic nerve or retina. Ask your ophthalmologist if there is any sign of permanency at this point.
