Hi Rachel @rwinney. Your positive attitude alone will get results for you. I think you are awesome! We do what we need to do to keep going. You won’t know unless you try, is a good attitude to have. Great idea to use a lower tint for sunglasses inside. I am trying to not use any tinting inside for now. I don’t want my use to get used to the darkness. I read long periods of darkness can worsen the photophobia. I did wear shades in the house before. My 20 pound pet house rabbit is almost an adult. We got him 4 months ago. He is currently shedding. His new coat of fur is a much darker shade, lol. I know rabbits try to adapt to their environment to be undetectable for a safety measure. I had no idea how dark the room was.
Closing one eye helps. I take breaks often, but you are right, many times we pay for using our eyes. Difficult to do things without them.
