As per my profile, I "have NOT" had a SAH, but my wife has had 2 and she has been through the mill so I am aware of a lot of issues, treatments and recovery - in soem way I would hope I can give some "non medical" advice and at least help others who have gone through this.
My wife had a SAH in 1999 with very little side effects, but a repeated SAH in 2011 with a massive siezure due to the severity of the SAH left her with severe eye problems initially, this was result of bleed before coiling.
Her right eye was partially paralysed and offset to the right, vision was ok but she did look strangely unattractive as I told her at the time..... its my way.
Her left eye suffered with Tersons Syndrome, a large amount of blood travelled down the optic nerve into the eye and left her virtually blind in that eye (initially)
The Neuro surgeon assured her all would be ok.... "in time"... but not to expect a daily or weekly...or even monthly improvement, it could take more than 1 year.
The Eye clinic gave her a prism for her glasses for her left eye to help bring it back in line, which it did over around 1 month post coiling.
Her left eye improved slightly over 1 month where she could see "something" but had large "cockerill shaped" red patch in centre of vision - like the Kellogs logo.
Over a few months this degraded into a smaller patch, then smaller "lumps" which drifted around inside the eye.
Now, 2 years post treatment she is signed off from eye clinic - there is still a "small" particle but generally ok.
Explaination was, unlike the rest of the body the fluid in the eye can take years to change so any blood in the eye can take a long time to clear up... and sometimes "settles" in the bottom of the eye and can be disturbed into a "floater" by sudden movement.
So, if you have eye problems, Tersons Syndrome etc it can take time.... keep positive and hopeful.
