blind from one eye

[Questionsab]

Hi, my fiance is completly blind from one eye due to a childhood accident and i would like to know if there is a cure for that. Also I would like to know if being blind from one eye will effect the other eye and will it eventually lead to complete blindness in both eyes. Thamk you

1. If the eye is totally blind (no light perception) there is no cure.
2. Since he went blind due to accident it should have no effect on the other eye. Yearly exams by Eye MD opthalmologist and eye protection is very important.

thanks alot for the information. Can you please let me know if because all vision is done by one eye will that make his eye weaker because it does not get any help from the blind eye. Thank you again for your help.

NO. If you cut off one arm the other arm doesn't get weaker or wear out because there's not another arm helping it.
