My senior cat went blind, but now she's seeing again. What happened?

Question

My 19 year old Persian cat went blind last December. Took her to a vet..he diagnosed a mitral valve cardiac murmur at 6 and said she looked like she had renal problems also. He prescribed propanolol and k/d diet. K/d didn’t agree with her so I put her on a phosphorus binder. At the vets office her pupils did not react to light and she acted blind. Gradually her pupils have been reacting some to light and she has also started jumping again...she had quit jumping when she went blind. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | 7 lbs

I would guess that Ebony may have had retinal detachment secondary to high blood pressure. Kidney disease can cause increased blood pressure. If her retinas partially reattached she may have regained some vision.
