Any cure or recommendation for optic nerve damage?

I had a optic nerve damage in my right eye when I was a kid (25 yrs ago). This was a result after an object got in to my eye pupil and damaged a part of it. However, I had a surgery back then and the vision wasn't really fixed but If I close my left eye  then i can see objects in the right part of my right eye but very blurring. I can almost sense it when it moves and etc. Anyway, I did follow up with some eye specialist after that and they advised me to wait for the technology. So I have seen any specialist in the past 8 years and I wonder if there is any fix for it yet? or any recommendation is appreciated?
Any other additional information is appreciated and I can be reached at zering.***@****

I had a meningioma removed from the right optic nerve about 3 years ago.  I am almost completely blind in the right eye.  They told me that the blood flow was interrupted during surgery which caused this problem.  Is there anything that can restore the optic nerve.  With just a little bit of light coming thru that eye.  It makes my other eye seem blurry and distorted at times.  I have headaches everday and I feel that it is coming from my eyes having to work so hard.
