Yesterday I was privileged to have a surgeon save my sight. I have glaucoma in both eyes. It is hereditary. My left eye is robust and responds well to drops. My right eye is weaker. Nearly three years ago I had a channel put into it to relieve the pressure - this slowly filled up - but now, thanks to the Manchester Eye Hospital staff it is cleared and the pressure is down - lots of droplets to put in - but this means I can go on painting for fun rather than in desperation resulting from loss of light. I mention this, to alert anyone who needs to have glasses, to be sure to have a check for glaucoma - the earlier it is diagnosed, the better the outcome. Cheers!
