That sounds like a scenario where it could possibly work.

Ilwe was for a really long time blind of an eye (the right one). Even though it can seem to not be the same as he could see with the left, it indeed pushed me to think how someone who cannot see what is happening on his right side would react. That and the fact I'm studying neuropsychology and I loved the course we had on how the brain reacts and "recovers" from losing one sense by increasing the sensitivity of the others.
So in his case, no aether vision or things of that sort, but he stopped using a bow as unable to aim and learned back how to use a sword after many years not touching one. To compensate his disability, he learned how to listen better, to smells things around him, to feel the movement of the air, etc.
The fact he was so sensitive lead him to avoid crowded places with a lot of people talking at the same time, he couldn't stand flowers, perfumes, etc. Going in a tavern was for him a nightmare because of the smell, the sounds etc. And he tended to move and change side when people were close to his bad eyes.
All that was emoted discretly so many people didn't knew for long that he was, in fact, blind of his right eye.
That was my non aether relying little view about being blind, what said Vaughn talked to me as it's totaly how I was rping this

If she continues to heavily rely on conjury to "see," it's quite possible that over time the nerve connections and receptors and whatnot may actually regenerate, given that they're being bathed in restorative energy on a constant basis.
