Doctor Reveals the Root Cause of the Problem
According to a media report, Dr. Sneha Singh of the Ophthalmology Department of a medical college in Ghazipur says that the family is suffering from a disease related to macular degeneration, which can cause visual impairment. This disease damages the middle part of the retina, which can lead to vision loss.
Actual Cause Will Be Known After Investigation
Doctors say that macular degeneration can be treated if detected at an early stage. However, if this disease is caused by genetic reasons, treatment may not be very effective. The actual reason behind the eye problem in this family in Ballia will only be known after an investigation.
