Hello
It seems from the history that your sister is having dimunition of vision following treatment for tuberculosis with ethambutol.
The diminution of vision is because of toxic effect of ethambutol involving the retina and optic nerve.
Hence you need to consult retina specialist for examination to assess the severity of damage and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
