Not the lottery I wanted to win: Glaucoma and macular degeneration,

[Croney]

both, which my doctor says is not that common. What a bother! Drops, shunts, more drops...

The worst thing is poor depth perception. I can read my phone with no glasses, and my "good" eye is still good enough with glasses for me to drive (soon to be reassessed), but stepping off a curb is like that scene in Beetlejuice where they open the door and the floor falls away.

I've just read that exercises to improve hand-eye coordination, like playing catch with a ball, can help depth perception. I want to be able to jog and hike!

I've been able to see for 80 years, which not everyone can say. Trying to be optimistic.

1. Bummer! Do what youve got to do!!! My dad had to quit golf, but he could still

see. Keep the one eye going !!!

2. That's it-- Do what I have to do!

Thanks! (Luckily I won't have to quit golf since I've never played.)😁

5. "Doctor! Will I be able to play the piano after this?"

"Sure you will!"
"Oh, great. I never could before."
Old joke.

3. playing catch! What fun.

I hope the treatment goes well and easy.

4. I''m sorry, I'm nearly blind from a different double whammy

and I agree that sthere should be only one crappy eye disease to a customer.

I hope treatment helps you prolong your sight for as long as possible.. I'm out of heroics and I'm surprised I'm still able to cope with my computer, my right eyeball 3 inches from the screen.

Whatever works. Good luck with your treatments.

7. Yes, whatever works! Good luck to you as well.
