laser eye surgery blindness

Does this type of blindness exist?
Is there any type of blindness that can occur from trauma to the face (a black eye but way worse)? And is this type of blindness treatable?
I’m trying to figure this out for a book I’m working on and I’m not sure if it’s possible but ideally I’d like to find something that affects only the eye that received the trauma (from a fight) but is fixable through laser surgery.
Has it got to be a laser?
Trauma damage to the optic nerve is not normally restorable by any means.
Loss of vision that can be returned by surgery would most likely involve bleeding into the vitreous of the eye. This could be undone in many cases with a vitrectomy, but that’s not a laser technique.
Cataract surgery might also be required, but unless the lens capsule is ruptured, (very unlikely except with a penetrating injury) that tends to come on much more slowly (up to 10 years after the event!).
