Eastern Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: 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'.
