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.
