Blindness in later stage of life
A friend of mine went blind during her high school. She was not born blind. When consulted with doctors it was told due to nerve issue caused the blindness. Their parents have consulted so many doctors and ended up saying there is no treatment for that. Request you to please confirm on that. I'm ready to send all her reports.
