I thought it interesting that this topic has come up just now. I was just at my and my mother's eye doctor's office yesterday for an exam and discussed with him my mother's glaucoma. My mother is my PWP. She has less than 20% of her vision in one eye and the other eye, while better, is not great. Since glaucoma runs in my family, I wanted to know what happened to her eye sight. It appears that she lost all of that vision over the space of about 3-4 years. The cause was either that she just couldn't remember to take her eye drops or that she didn't want to be bothered with it. So please, please, if you have glaucoma and have a hard time remembering to take medicines, find someone who will be a memory jog for you. I would have helped her, but I had no idea. Now almost 20 years later at 82, there is very little she can do and reading, which has always been a favorite pasttime, is barely possible.
