Rosie Rabbit

Rosie has had no sight in her right eye (due to a cataract) for a couple of years, and now, as we have recently suspected, she has lost the sight in her left eye too.
Her left eye has had a sort of shadow in it for some time - it's not opacity of the lens like a cataract, more like a shadow on the retina :? She sees a specialist eye vet from time to time, and he confirmed last week that there's now no sight in her left eye. He didn't give a reason though - does anyone know why this could be?
An obvious thought when she developed the cataract 2 years ago was EC, and she has had a 4-week course of Panacur (before 6 weeks were considered necessary). She hasn't shown any more signs of possible EC, although she has had stasis once in that time.
She seems fine in herself and loves her snuggles with us, although she has slowed down a bit and is sleeping more. We don't really know what age she is but we suspect she's older than we thought. She's also not binkying and running about as much, probably because she can't see where she's going Her hearing is also not great.
We spend loads of time with her giving her cuddles and and we keep her enviroment the same so as not to confuse her.
Does anyone have any other advice about her eye or insights about living with blind bunnies?
Thanks
