Hello
It seems from the history that your mother is having poor vision as a result of optic nerve damage caused by use of drugs, pyrazinamide and ethambutol.
This is called as toxic optineuropathy. The treatment is by stopping the offending drug and use of vitamin B 12.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for evaluation to assess the severity of damage and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
