Thanks for all the advice and support. I have been continuing to go out once a day in the sun with no sunglasses or earplugs. I hope to check in here at least each week and post my results. Today, I went out for one walk at 10 am for 8 minutes and another at 12pm for 10 minutes or so. I know that I kind of pushed it but it felt so good to be out in the sunlight after a year! I feel a little dizzy and have a slight pressure headache at my injury spot but overall feel pretty much OK.

JBuck,

What sort of signs and symptoms did you notice when you overdid it? I know we and our brains are all different but it would be helpful if you could give me some tips and guidelines and perhaps cautions to follow.

SMS,

I've been diagnosed with a couple other vision issues and have been prescribed prism glasses upon until now I hadn't seen a reason to fill them because of the need for sunglasses constantly. I am gonna get them filled. FYI, inconvegence insufficiency was one of the diagnoses and I am seeing a behavioral optometrist for these issues.
