Hello,
My name is Lynda, I had brain hemorrhage 2 years ago and I lost my sight. This was my 3rd brain hemorrhage. After my first two, my sight did come back. I was told by my consultant that my sight myaby will recover, but they wasn't sure. I want to ask what chances do I have to get my sight back.

Dear Sonu, welcome to the medhelp forum. I can understand and appreciate your genuine concern for your friend’s health. Your friend is a known hypertensive according to your facts could have sustained a transient ischemic attack in the first incident. This is a brief loss of neurological function caused by interference of blood flow to the brain, spinal cord or retina in the eye, with permanent tissue damage. There can be sudden loss of vision, slurring of speech, confusion in understanding or sudden weakness or numbness of the relevant part of body. Usually these symptoms resolve. This is mostly a forerunner of a stroke. Your friend most likely had a TIA followed by a stroke. Was he given therapy for hypertension once he had the first episode of these symptoms? Consult your friend’s neurologist/intensivist who would best apprise you of his present neurological deficits and MRI findings. It is difficult to comment on the prognosis without checking him clinically.
You are welcome with any clarifications and God bless your friend.
