My left eye was damaged in an accident 17 years ago. Can anything be done now?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 24 year old male. My left eye was damaged in an accident when I was 7 years old. Can any procedure possibly be done now? I did not go for any check-up previously.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is a phthisical eye. For cosmetic reasons, you can go for an artificial prosthetic eye. If the vision is lost, nothing can be done now. Send high-quality pictures of your eyes for better assessment and treatment. Do follow-up for any queries. Thank you.
