Will this affect the vision of the left eye?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, what could have caused complete visual nerve atrophy and deafness? Did you experience any previous discomfort symptoms? Have you had uveitis? Generally speaking, at your age, visual nerve atrophy always has a cause. If it's caused by uveitis, there might be a possibility of it affecting both eyes. If it's traumatic, and there are no underlying conditions, then it's generally unlikely to cause left eye vision loss. Visual nerve atrophy has a significant impact on children. Once parents notice their child's symptoms, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's diet and recommend a more light diet.
