My grandfather, 76-year old, currently living in dalian, china, is a 20-year high blood pressure and cerebral thrombus patient. His condition was relatively stable up until about a week ago (feb 01) when he suddenly had this stroke attack. He first felt that his left body is a little 'num' so he decided to take a nap. After he wakes up from it, he completely lost his eye sight.
My parents took him to a nearby hospital right away and the doctors x-rayed him. From the x-ray results, apparently this blindness is a direct result from cerebral thrombus. The visual nerve has been affected/damaged.
My question is, is there any effective medicine that we can use to deal with his blindness so maybe a few years down the road he could see the world again? Or maybe if you can tell me where to go to get help it would be great too! I love him very much and I am personally devastated by this.
I will highly appreciate any advice or help that you could provide. If your advice or help could lead to an substantial improvement of his condition, i'd like to reward you, too. If you need to see the x-ray, please feel free to email me and I will make sure you get it.
