Hi Everyone,
To all that are following Harriet's story, I am currently recovering from surgery for glaucoma and it's hard to read and write since my vision is fuzzy. I'll post again as soon as I can. My advice is get your eye pressures checked even if you have no symptoms. Increased fluid pressure in the eyes damages the optic nerve and the change cannot be reversed. The changes are slow and pain-free, you won't know it's happening. I've been on eye drops and laser treatment for years, but finally an operation was the only option.
Best wishes to you all, Bronwen

Glaucoma

I do hope that you get better soon. I am 72 and am in with the ophthalmologist at least once a year, though they tell me that some degeneration of my sight is to be expected.

Poor you

I had my regular (I'm now 79) eye-test yesterday, and the rebound for glaucoma came up clear, yet again. But he did give warning of early cataract signs. OK, my wife had both hers done (year apart) about 15 years ago so, I have no worries except that I no longer have a chauffeuse to drive me to the outpatients as I did for her then.
I wish you a trouble free recovery

oh wow
