He should go to an eye doctor to see if there's some way at least more vision could be reserved in that eye. Have him put his name on the waiting list.
My cousins been on medication since 2017. I think the meds have helped cut down on his self harming behaviour.
Yeah he had an operation on that eye a few years ago but there was so much scar tissue on his retina that that even the best eye doctor in the world could only give him limited vision back.
I have intrusive thoughts too that are a lot better on meds. I never had thoughts to self-harm thou I did self-harm majorly 1ce & I've had intrusive thoughts about other bad/dangerous things which are better on meds.
My grandpa got a detached retina as a result of some kinda accident. It might of been related to a fall &/or construction accident. He's had lots of various accidents in his lifetime so I cant remember. There wasn't anything that could be done for the detached retina at the time so he was blind out of that eye for a while. Eventually they were able to reattach it when he was getting cataract surgery on his good eye. They were able to reattach his retina but he only got back partial eyesight out of it.
