I went to an interesting art exhibit once at the Eitlejorg museum. It was a collection of bronze sculptures of wildlife by a blind artist. Beautiful work intended to be appreciated through touch as well as visual.

If art is what interests you, maybe there are new projects you can work at that rely more on tactile senses. I took up woodcarving after my accident. What a relaxing way to spend a few hours a week. I found it to be less visually stimulating than painting or pencil work. Even if something did not turn out as I had imagined, I did feel as if I had accomplished something on completing work. This can be a social activity if there is a woodcarvers group where you live.

A word of caution as you are looking for things to do: you might want to stay away from a trip to the aquarium. I thought going at an off time would be relaxing, but the strange lighting and architecture and the movement of the fish really threw me for a loop.
