A member asked:
Are there treatments for vision impairment and blindness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Of course: Many treatments including the provision of lenses, topical and systemic medications, laser treatment and a variety of surgical options can help many with lowered vision and even some that are apparently blind. Check with you ophthalmologist to see which of these is present if you are the patient.
