I know what you're experiencing, I've been trough it few times. It's like you've been living in very quiet apartment for years and suddenly 5 hyperactive kids moves in screaming all day with parents who don't care how they behave and they ruin everything. It's like music on headphones with overturned equalizer on max settings and naxed bass settings you can't take them off.
I had this after cataract surgery, after hypotony, after other some multiple surgeries complications that passed away before i saw light movement afterwards I could see 2 lines off exe chart from 1 meter, before only few colors and all in ugly yellow dark tint after all colors vibrant oversaturated! It was overwhelming, i could see my hands again, i had to learn what chores i bought last year's because I learned all the colors false.

It was hard for me to identify objects that I see I had to touch them first, i had to learn to identify them by seeing them: i saw an apple or a cup clearly but i didn't recognized them at all, I had to touch it first and say this is an apple or a cup etc. Or this color is black, orange, i hold a knife.
When my brain and mind was overwhelmed because everything was oversaturated, contrast brightness was maxed up, too much objects informations and colors was p i taken breaks: i wore dark sunglasses to block colors, closed eyes, taken short nap, even eye patch and done stuff as blind again (yes sounds crazy but it was overwhelming seeing too much and seeing less or nothing was a break for my mind and muscular i tensed less i taken such breaks less and less with time as my mind adjusted). Brain and mind adjust to it after individually after some time and you won't be bothered by it anymore. It's like with new much stronger eye glass lenses it's tiresome at the beginning but after a while you will adjust. Connect sound, touch and vision in your day.

In my case my vision deteriorated after 2 years to old state it was great to see better my eye can't be operated due to COVID hospitals aren't doing ops unless you're bleeding. But mz exe doc says I really need it again despite the risks.

That sounds so overwhelming and is something that I have definitely spent time thinking about in regards to my own situation. I imagine that people who can see everything around them *all the time* (peripheral vision) are seeing such a lot of everything: motion, colors, light, all of it so overwhelming compared to blindness.

I don't have any advice, but I don't think that feeling overwhelmed and having a difficult time adjusting to the changes makes you a bad or ungrateful person in the slightest.

Very fascinating. That’s also why I am not eager to see again or whatever it’s not possible with me but this is what yu know could and will happen it happened to. A person I know of she put on some esight glasses and could suddenly see really well. She was way over stimulated.

Oh that’s so cool!

I was born blind and imagine this is a happy yet stressful time for you. Perhaps look at a thing then put on a blindfold for a break or something? I don’t really know, ask your doctor for advice.

I don’t have any advice but this is interesting. What do you do when you’re feeling overwhelmed? Do you close your eyes?
