Born blind in right eye, gained sight?
Very straightforward, I just want people's opinions as the eye Dr's I've seen have not figured it out.
I was born with no sight in my right eye due to no optic nerve developing (the original diagnosis, which recently I've been told there's some, but not enough for me to see). When I was 11, I went from seeing nothing in that eye to just black, which everyone told me was what I was supposed to 'see' when I was blind. This later progressed to me seeing white spots and then being able to make out colours. I was taken to an optician at the time who said I was faking it for attention 😒.
I'm now able to see shapes and make out objects clearly enough to know what they are, but I am still considered legally blind in that eye. I've seen two eye drs (I can't spell the actual word), and the first was too confused, so referred me for a second opinion. The second one told me I'm visually hallucinating, which I tried to argue, was asked if I focus on it, does it become clearer, which yes, it does, and apparently, that was confirmation.
I've never heard of anything like this happening and can't find anything online, so I was wondering what people think. I'm not looking for a diagnosis, just a theory or explanation of why this happened.
Thank you.
