How to explain medical issues (legal blindness)

Hello, i am a rising sophomore at a target school. I was legally blind with advanced keratoconus, which lead to my gpa last semester tanking from a 3.8 to a 3.44 and also forced me to turn down all freshman summer offers to do a corneal transplant (which I'm still recovering from.) I'm confident I can get it back to a 3.7+ next semester. is it possible for me to still break into BB/EBs, or will I get dinged for the GPA/lack of freshman interns?
