Any cure for my problem?

Hello,
I am Ram.
I had conjunctive cataract by birth in my right eye which was removed by surgery when i was less than a year old. Later The vision was very low in that eye, like only shadow like movements i can see.I also had glaucoma in that same eye. Then when I was around 17 A football hit my eyes and damaged some of my blood veins in the same eye.later that eye started closing.Now Im using prosthetic eye in that place.while the real eye ball is behind the prosthetic eye now. Im from india and doctors here say that there is no cure invented so far.So is there a way that can bring me my vision back?some experimental techniques? maybe in the US?plz let me know if there is a way.

No there is no place in the world now that could help your problem. You must devote increased effort to keeping your remaining eye healthy. The biggest risk is trauma. You should not be playing football and other contact and racquet sports. You should avoid activities that have high risk of eye injury such as power tools.  If you must do these then you need proper eye protection such as industrial eye and face shields.

You need to live a healthy lifestyle, not smoke, exercise, not get obese and see an ophthalmologist at least yearly the rest of your life
