How can my nephew’s eyesight be improved?
Question
My five years old nephew fell from the roof about 4-5 months back. He had some head injuries, which were corrected. But for the last one month, we observed that his eyesight has reduced quite a lot. We visited a doctor who told us that blood supply to his eyes has stopped due to some injuries in veins. How can his eye vision be improved?

It seems your nephew had damage to optic nerve circulation due to head injury. This would have caused optic atrophy and poor vision as a result. Although tests can be done to confirm that but I don't think any treatment will make it better.
Best thing would be to see a reliable eye specialist or institution who you trust to give you confirmation so that you can rest assured. I have trust in Shankar Nethralay in Chennai for which I have no finacial interest.
