Am at about Day 400 with only half vision. Here’s what has helped me.
1. The eyepatch. It was more helpful than I realized. Get yourself a good one, the drug store ones are a good temporary fix, but my leather one fits better and doesn’t give me headaches. Also, it looks pretty cool. Embrace the small victories!
2. Become more aware of what triggers issues. For me it’s been bright lights. Once I started mitigating those effects, improvement began.
3. Talk to a therapist. You’ve lost an important part of your body and that will take time to process and mourn. It’s okay to be pissed and frustrated, talking it through will help you deal with the realities and practicalities.

Did you go see other doctors? I thought your condition is temporary but it sounds like its not. I'm sorry you feel this.

As a 26 year old graduate student who just got their first full time job with benefits…unfortunately no, I haven’t gone to see another doctor 😅
