    hi

    i think that you'd need to ask an optician or an opthalmologist to find out

    best wishes

    Hi. I'm sorry, but once sight is lost I was told it cannot be returned. I only have very little sight in my right eye due to glaucoma that wasn't diagnosed in time. I had a trabeculectomy operation to help save what sight was left.  I'm on Cosopt eye drops which I use twice a day but otherwise, I rely on my eye specialist to check my eyes maybe once or twice a year , to see if there are any changes. My left eye is fine. I'm sorry I can't be more help.
