Getting used to blindness

Hi, I'm new here, and hope this post is ok.

This is Mirage, 7 female, and diagnosed in June with severe glaucoma. We had to remove the right eye 2 weeks ago because of cornea ulcer and severe pain, and the left eye is slowly following the same path...

She's mostly blind now, her left eye doesn't react much and she struggles to move around.

She used to be a very active, playful and curious cat, but she struggles to adapt and spend most of her day sleeping and eating.

She's an adorable and patient cat, that copes well with drops, but I have to admit it's very painful to see her like that, she's a shadow of what she used to be...

What can I do to stimulate her? I tried playing with noisy toys but she doesn't care. Do you have any advice we could apply to help her enjoy life again?
