Nothing in this says she didnt or couldnt wear a patch. Journalist trying to make an emotional connection to her vision loss and then bare bones about the medical.
While she may have worn a patch, they aren’t the most comfy and can get a lot of stares and questions. People are rude af to people with any noticeable abnormalities. A patch would also mean basically zero depth perception due to only having one eye seeing.
If going outside and looking up is one of my favorite things, I’ll wear the patch. Also, she couldn’t focus with that eye anyway (no lens, no iris), so no depth perception anyway.
Or remove the eye and go glass. Even a contact lens could be used to limit the light intake. I’m calling bullshit. Insurance companies suck, but there’s more to this story than just that.
