Marjorie-- this does sound pretty unusual and scary--I hope the glaucoma specialist has expertise to apply and share. You need to have a better idea of what on earth is going on! Our s-i-l- doesn't have glaucoma, and is really blind in one eye from his longterm diabetes, but I don't think he has anything like what you describe. Please keep in touch--we are concerned, too. >Camilla, >Thanks for the hug, I really needed that! >IMOHO, I don't think things look too good for my >husband's vision in that eye. >The top part of the eye is milky white like an eye is >when its blinded, then it has something which looks as >if its folded down over that. >Like a table napkin and one side is >dog eared down.
