Hello,

Your mother has loss of vision.
If we go by the history it seems like she had suffered from central retinal artery occlusion.
This is the artery which supplies the optic disc. With the occlusion of the artery the blood supply is cut of to the area.
Due to lack of blood supply the optic disc gets atroped.
This is irreversible and cause permanent loss of vision.
