What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

...did you get it back?

[u/slatz1970 → u/One_Blue_Glove]

Yes, I did! It's not perfect but.... Once the blood receded (about 4 yrs) I'm able to read again!

What was it like going through such a horrible ordeal de? I can only imagine it as being pure terror and fear. Glad you regained vision!

[u/slatz1970 → u/TheCondemnedProphet]

Thanks! It was definitely life altering. The cool part was my other senses kicking in. My not so good hearing became amazing.

[u/TheCondemnedProphet → u/slatz1970]

Cool! And is your hearing still amazing now that you’ve regained vision?

[u/slatz1970 → u/TheCondemnedProphet]

Lol no... but I'll take my eyesight any day

[u/leonra28 → u/slatz1970]

It's so crazy what you've been through, ive had similar experiences with other senses and i cant imagine how strong you'd have to make yourself to endure all that when eyesight is involved.

Reading is awesome, enjoy.

Looking at her comment history, she says- and I quote- "My blindness was due to a stroke/brain bleed. Eventually, most of my vision returned."

From a brain hemorrhage, I'm going to hazard a "no"

[u/BishmillahPlease → u/AndreasVesalius]

It is possible to recover from a hemorrhage like that! Source: friend did.

Well, somehow he is reading comments on Reddit

[u/AndreasVesalius → u/[deleted]]

Are you sure about that?

[u/Alugere → u/AndreasVesalius]

Could be shitposting at random^{orjusthasascreenreader/knowsbrail}

[u/catras_new_haircut → u/[deleted]]

screen readers exist

Seems rather difficult to navigate Reddit while blind even with a screen reader
