Is it possible to save an eye from a big trauma if the optic nerve is intact?
My brother was hit with a big rock in the face and it damaged left eye.
From what i understood from the doctors the optic nerve is intact but the rest of the eye is compromised. They want to remove it completely!
My question is: is it possible with some kind of technology during surgery to save his eye even though the vision will not be 100% as before?
Or is it possible to have an eye transplant if the optic nerve is intact?
The reason the doctors want to remove your brother’s eye is to prevent sympathetic ophthalmia which is an “autoimmune eye disease in which a penetrating injury to one eye produces inflammation in the uninjured eye” (MedicineNet.com). The best way of preventing the condition is to remove the injured eye (Wikipedia). The fact that the optic nerve is intact does not guarantee the possibility to restore vision since other parts of the eye are also needed for vision. Also eye transplants are not yet possible with today’s technology.
