While there is no guarantee they will work for damage due to

Optic neuritis is treated with B12. So if this surgical side effect is a form of neuritis, high dose B12 may work.
You can request blood tests before starting, and if the level of B12 is less than 500 (American doctors often believe the old levels of 200 are normal and they are not), then taking it anyway is good insurance.
The recommendations today are for all people over 50 to take a B12 supplement anyway!
