Brain tumor compressing the optic nerve causing blindness

Patient's question:

Fifteen years ago, because I couldn't see, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was found to have a brain tumor. I underwent cranial surgery, and after the surgery, I lost my eyesight. It has been fifteen years, and is it still possible for my eyesight to return?

Doctor's answer:

The condition of blindness caused by a brain tumor is often due to optic nerve atrophy. If the compression is relieved in its early stages, vision can be restored. However, it has been 15 years now, and the vision has still not improved. In such cases, vision cannot be restored.
