Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The treatment failure of the patient depends upon so many factors. If she is irregular in taking medicine, if she is using some medicine which has seizures as side effect, like antihistamines,ofloxacin etc.
Should not be exposed to bright light, or continuous exposure to light like Tv, or computer.Premature delivery may not be the cause, other wise they would have started at an early age.
Regarding the surgery, the attending doctor will be the correct judge, and pros and cons will be there with all the procedures.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
