Blindness after cancer

Good Afternoon.
My partner was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2020.
Since then she has recovered well from the treatment she was given but now she has lost her eyesight in both eyes since July 2022.
Has anyone experienced this or know of anyone who has experienced this after cancer.
Both her Neurologist and Opthalmic consultants do not know why she has lost her eyesight and so we so not know who to turn too next for help.
They say she is.an extraordinary case and that they have not seen this before.
Can anyone help on this matter???
Any help or advice would be greatly accepted.
