In the meantime, while you wait for the clinic, try spending time outdoors near sunrise or sunset. Looking toward the horizon in the direction of the setting sun—without ever staring directly at it—can give your eyes beneficial natural and infrared light waves. Just be sure to never look straight at the sun itself.
There’s real science behind my suggestion; it’s called photobiomodulation. The red and near-infrared wavelengths in natural sunlight (which most artificial lights lack) are absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, boosting their energy production and helping damaged tissues, including the retina, repair themselves. In fact, clinical trials have used this exact principle to improve vision in people with macular degeneration, and recent research even shows these wavelengths can pass through the body to have a systemic healing effect. So when you face the sunset’s glow without staring at the sun itself, you’re giving your eyes and nervous system a gentle, natural therapy that indoor lighting simply can’t replicate & which is especially valuable for anyone recovering from a stroke

Hello @Janerider - In case you haven’t already seen this, there is some information on the NHS website and from there there is another link to The Macular Society website.
I include both below
NHS - Macular degeneration information
As well as the above, I believe we should take all the help we can get from Mother Nature and to that end, @pando has made an excellent suggestion.
I wish you all the best.
Peace and love
