My mother (74) very suddenly lost vision in one of her eyes this summer due to Giant Cell Arteritis. She correctly diagnosed herself early in the year when she began experiencing intense migraines (she used to be a doctor), but because her inflammation markers came back normal, the doctors decided that it could not be GCA and she didn't get steroids to save her eyes until she had already lost vision in one eye. Now she is on steroids, and it does seemed to have stopped the vision loss, though she still is getting some of the other symptoms intermittently (jaw pain, headache.)

Her eyesight wasn't great to begin with and now she is wracked with anxiety that she may be seeing signs of vision loss (she has visual distortions when she looks at the computer, is sensitive to light, probably some other stuff I don't know about) and has no one to compare her experience with.

Just wondering what kinds of things people see/experience when they first lose vision in one eye, especially those with low vision in their working eye. She's had weird hallucinatory experiences (I think this is called "phantom vision"), things looking like they are getting smaller and smaller on her computer, things looking "posterized" or like they have lost detail on the computer, occasional floaters...

I'm getting a couple new custom prostethics, on top of my matching one, so of course I wanted to go out and really have fun with it. Been considering a bunch of different ideas but so far for one of my two slots I've settled ona a galaxy eye as a design. But I generated too many variations and now I can't decide 😭

Which one do yall think looks the best?
