Optic nerve damaged in an accident treatment is there or not?
Yes or No, If yes what is the treatment? If you want reports I will send to your email id.
My father (55 years) got an accident at 23-01-2016 and he lost vision of left eye completely. Right eye okay.
That time he injured a lot so that treatment happened.
so that treatment happened first that time OPHTHALMOLOGY doctor checked (20-02-2016) and said optic nerve damaged and he lost his vision( No lighting in the eye). He suggested to us “consult neurologist doctor”.
We consulted neurologist doctor. He said to us “take MRI SCAN AND OTHER TESTS”. Then He said “we need to inject three injections(Methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection USP – SOLU-MEDROL 1gram)”. We agreed and he did injections and multivitamin injections also.

Right Now He did not get vision for left eye.
Awaiting for your response sir

You understand i cannot give you specific advice nor do the rules of this forum allow me to look at your father's tests and chart. That would constitute forming a doctor patient relationship which is prohibited on this site. So generally speaking the prognosis is extremely poor and the return of any vision in the injured eye is unlikely.  The treatment sounds like it was appropriate. The most important thing is to protect your fathers good eye from another injury, eye disease or health problems that could damage the eye.  You father should wear glasses to protect the good eye, should always be thinking eye safety and avoiding activities that have eye hazard. He will need to see an Eye MD at least every 12 months, he should have a personal MD and probably see that doctor every 6 months. He needs to live a healthy lifestyle-not smoke, watch his weight, eat a good diet, don't drink too much alcohol, exercise.  There is a book called "A Singular View" it is out of print but you can get it on ebay and it talks about adjusting to one eye.
