I was first diagnosed in 2000 when I had cataracts removed from both eyes.

I had an allergic reaction to drops prescribed by my ophthalmologist. I subsequently had a trabeculectomy in both eyes, and now use 2 types of drops 3 times daily when required, with no reactions.
I have reading glasses only and still drive my car, and feel fortunate to be able to live life to the maximum. I always wear sunglasses outside everyday, no matter the weather.
