The doctor said my retina nerves are weak and recommended barrage laser but I don't know much about it will it hurt or involve surgery? Also, I recently switched to progressive lenses and have had constant headaches for 10 days is it safe to do the laser now?

Barrage laser treatment strengthens weak areas of the retina, and it's generally considered a safe and effective procedure, but it can cause some mild discomfort or pain. It usually doesn't involve surgery in the traditional sense; it's a laser procedure performed on an outpatient basis. Regarding your headaches, it's best to consult with your doctor or eye doctor to determine if they are related to the new lenses or another issue before undergoing the laser treatment.

My uncle could see just six months ago but now he's completely blind. Is there any surgery or treatment that could help restore his vision? What could have caused such a sudden loss of eyesight?
While there isn't a guaranteed cure for blindness, treatments can sometimes help restore or manage vision loss, depending on the cause and how far it's progressed. Sudden vision loss can be caused by several factors, including retinal detachment, stroke, optic neuritis, and problems with blood flow to the eyes.
