I sure wish I'd had an answer for this question a few years ago. We think
one of ours has lost all or most of his vision, too, from this same
behavior.
I get the whole "seeing bright lights" when you poke your eye, but why do
some of us poke eyes and some don't? I'll admit it can be a soothing
behavior.
Our other one has never been an eye poker so he leaves conformers in his
eyes. When the poker would leave his conformers in, he didn't poke near as
much as he does without them.

A friend of mine has a child with severe autism. Last week, he hit his eyes
so hard that he lost vision in the left and had to have surgery to restore
some of the vision in the right. Now she's worried about how to keep him
from injuring his eye again. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
