I am a seventh level druid. A healer in my party. My DM is extremely into good stories and I love that about him, but he's done somethign to my character that im not sure how to deal with. 

At first I wanted to be a caster in the party, and after looking through possible feats, my DM allowed me to take the Feat "Ocular Spell" (the feat to store Ray-spells in one's eyes for 8 hours and cast them as free-actions), as long as I had a good story behind them. These spells were my bread and butter, as I coupled them with the Quicken Spells feat. He asked us to take two flaws for extra feats, and since my flaws had to do with melee attacking and AC I opted to utilize "Wild Shape" to become an Eagle and escape melee combat. 

So essentially, during the course of a single turn, I could utilize the feats "flyby attack" and "Natural Spell" and swoop down into casting range, fire my two free ray spells at different targets, cast my two quickened spells, then use my standard action to cast a spell all while moving from opponent to opponent and then out of harms way (provided i calculated my distance correctly and was not hit by an AoO). When my DM asked me to heal for th party, I was fine with adjusting from burst to heals, as long as i could keep my versitility. I took "scribe scroll" for the ability to cast any spell I have scribed. 

Tonight my DM ustilized story to blind me. He ripped my eyes out, which stopped me from using my ocular spell feat and my scribe scroll feat. I cannot fly in bird form because I cannot see, and therefore cannot decern where I am. I cant cast touch spells because I cant move to my alies to heal them, or my enemies to damage them since, barring listen checks per turn, i dont know where they are.  

TL;DR
I need help figuring out what to do with a now- blind caster who cannot melee to attack and is still the groups only healer.  Are there any feats I can take to continue performing my roll? Am i screwed? Honestly at a loss here. 

That sounds like a DM who wants you to leave the game. I'd oblige him. 

The way you counter things like this when they come up is to say "I'm not really into the idea of my character's eyes being ripped out. It really lessens the fun I have with the game." If your DM says something to the effect of "too bad" you leave. If they say something like "Oh I was building to a sweet story thing at the begining of next session it will be good. bear with me." You can decide whether or not you believe the DM on that one. If so, go along with it. If not, ask that they bail on this story element. 

If you are concerned about still playing, use the retraining rules in PHB2 to swap your feats around.

I would first ask the DM if he has a plan for ways your player can recapture his previous powers or have new and interesting ones that take his place.  If not, bolt.  If so, then maybe stick with it and say what kind of interesting story lines may develop.

My DM chose to deviate from the rules for his campain. I told him I wanted to play a blaster, so he made variations within the storyline (with use of the gods) to allow for me to be just as I described (essentially a specific spell could be fired from my eyes and it count as a free action, but any others would make it full-round); I also still only had 1 charge of each spell per 8 hours, so i could only pull the move I described above once every eight hours unless I had scribed a scroll for them to be stored.  Perhaps he realized his mistake in letting me play this way and saught to rectify it via story?

As for regrowing my eyes, my DM made it clear that if I do I lose Ocular Spell, and must re-do the ritual to regain the feat.  

In any case, my DM gives out XP at the end of every campain, so im screwed all next campain next week, and must wait an additional week to fix myself. Unless he does anything to help  me as part of the story.  

I will give next week a shot. The last thing my PC saw before her eyes were ripped out was her slaughtered family hanging above her by chains, dripping blood on her naked,completely paralyzed body. Then her master ripped her eyes from their sockets and insterted them into his own, bleeding sockets, grinning to the chorus of her screams. Im hoping he doesnt leave me in the dust here, its a very interesting campain, but being that im not melee, im not sure how a caster can cope blind.
