Since being diagnosed with glaucoma, I have been using several types of eye drops for 42 years.
I have also had two lots of laser surgery, but everything is still quite blurry. Vision in my left eye is however a bit better.
Luckily, I can still drive and watch TV. I dread going completely blind, as my case is quite severe. I would rather lose a leg or an arm than go blind.
Hopefully they will come up with a solution one day for blindness.
