Do you mean I'll always have them and have to wear a patch? :(

Not at all. You will see recovery in your sight AND your brain will get used to the images AND sort them out into a coherent picture of the world.

There is every possibility that, in a short time, you will be seeing clearly.

The brain is remarkable adaptive. The times I wear only one lens, do do not see a blur in the side where the vision is uncorrected unless the corrected eye is obscured. It is as if the brain has switched of the vision signals in the eye with poor vision.
