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.

I've been diagnosed with a retina issue and my doctor recommended barrage laser surgery, but I'm really nervous about it they didn't make me feel confident about the procedure. Can you suggest a skilled and patient-friendly retina surgeon who specializes in barrage laser? I need to get this done soon but want to make sure I'm in good hands.
