Question My mom , aged 70 yrs is suffering from glucoma , diabetes & hypertenssion. Though she is using drops for the eyes, her eyesight is weakening day by day . Is there any surgical process through which her vision can be restored ? i am very worried , pls help . I have consulted many doctors but of no help , if necessary i can provide with her prescription details . Thanks in advance .
Answer Dear Pradeep,
Your mother does have eye problems which need to be managed by specialists.
Yes, an eye report would help.
Glaucoma can be controlled well with eye drops, but if any vision has already been lost due to Optic nerve damage, then this loss is not reversible.
Also, diabetes if not in control can damage the retina again resulting in visual loss.
An eye report outlining her retinal condition and other tests can help me suggest better.
