Question
The patient inquires whether complete blindness in the right eye due to optic nerve atrophy will affect left eye vision.
Answer
Doctors suggest that complete blindness in the right eye due to optic nerve atrophy may lead to sympathic ophthalmia, which can further affect left eye vision. It is recommended to undergo ophthalmic examination and treatment as soon as possible to preserve the vision of the normal eye. Additionally, it is advised to avoid using nerve-nourishing medications, as their effectiveness is limited.
