Slowly going blind (datura)

after getting arrested for dealing, manufacturing and using drugs, being released from prison and from house arrest, i am trying to change my life for the better because im still very young.
i stopped using every drug i did at the time (6 months ago) cold turkey.
even alcohol and nicotine, absolutely everything.
but lately i was feeling mentally very very bad, i just wanted to escape once again,
by sheer luck, while walking down the street i saw a dried-out bush, and as i was approaching it i saw yellow-dry spiky pods, this moment i instantly realized i have found some datura, i harvested right at that moment, leaving the place with around 20 full pods of seeds.
after extracting the seeds i have decided to try some, took a small dosage and had an interesting experience, like being slightly intoxicated.
the next couple weeks i was binging seeds everyday.
one day i decided to stop because im still trying to fix my life. after a while i have noticed that every light source appears to be 3X times brighter to me, which was unusual.
slowly as the days passed, i have been noticing that my vision is getting worse and im seeing blury.
i believe this is not going to be temporary and i just fucked up my vision, i will soon enough go visit an optometrist and see if i can do something about it or i will have to start wearing glasses.

tldr; by consuming datura, you accept many risks, this include vision loss which i am experiencing at the moment.
