Hello
It seems from the history that your brother is having vision impairment following treatment of tuberculosis by combutol.
Combutol is ethambutol and it is known to cause vision impairment by causing toxic neuropathy affecting the optic nerve.
The treatment us by shopping the drug and by use of multivitamins containing B complex.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for assessment of severity if damage and treatment by use of multivitamins
Thank you
