Had PRK surgery 5 months ago and my right eye is fine but my left eye stays blurry unless I use lubricant drops - vision gets clear for a bit then goes back to being fuzzy. My left eye is at 69 before drops. Why does it keep doing this and is it normal after PRK?

It's normal to experience some degree of blurred vision after PRK surgery, especially if the vision is fluctuating and improving with lubricant drops. However, five months post-surgery, it's important to investigate why this persists and discuss it with your eye doctor. While individual healing rates can vary, persistent blurriness and dependence on drops warrant further evaluation.

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.
