My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's 13 years ago. Since that time he has had two cataracts removed and now has Glaucoma. The cataracts, according to the Opthamologist occur in most of our older population, particularly among blue-eyed people who didn't wear sunglasses. The Glaucoma has not been explained nor related/associated to his Parkinson's. Dad is 78. My mother (non-Parkinson's) has suffered the same fate: both cataracts and Glaucoma. Both have had laser surgery to correct. When he sees the Ophthamologist again later this month, I'll ask if he knows of a cause-effect associated with Parkinsons'. Have you had any explanations? --- MyFirstname Mylastname john simon <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Yes I believe my husband's eyes have gotten > progressively worse, despite the > fact he has a cataract. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alison Landes" <[log in to unmask]> > To: <[log in to unmask]> > Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 8:58 PM > Subject: Vision changes and challenges with > Parkinson's > > > > Does anyone feel that they are experiencing any > vision changes or > > challenges > > after a number of years following their diagnosis > with Parkinson's? > > > > If so, has there been any explanation for it by > either your neurologist or > > opthalmologist? > > > > Thank you for your comments. > > > > Alison Landes > > Founder/ President > > Take Charge!
