Hello,
If the optic nerve damage is due to CMV retinitis then you are already treating him with valganciclovir. This can be administered into the affected eye but depends on the availability of the medicine and the expertise needed for this procedure. Stick to the treatment and maintain regular follow-up with the concerned doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
