Wonderful work. This was very informative. My grandma is 60+ and she face problems with her eyesight. She is a diabetic patient too. Will a laser vision correction procedure help granny gain her eyesight like before? Please do suggest. I am badly in need of your opinion. I want to see my granny with proper eyesight like before.
It has been over a year since my earlier posting about the eye article. Thanks to the incredible expertise of my husband's surgeon, whatever was necessary to stop the progression of the Glaucoma, deal with the detached retina, and remove the cataract saved a small amount of my husband's vision in his left eye. He also notices more light from that eye since the removal of the cataract, of course. With glasses now, he is able to see enough to read and carefully go about his daily routine. I, too, was developing cataracts; but, unlike my husband, I immediately went to my ophthalmologist. He scheduled my first one for the summer of last year and the other for November. I have had no problems whatsoever, and I thank God and my Christian doctor everyday for my vision! My husband was fortunate that, at age 87, he salvaged what was left of his vision. I am 68, but it is never too early to pay attention to changes in our eyesight. So, if you are having any visual difficulty with your eyes, do not listen to anyone except an ophthalmologist! If one says it is nothing, get a second opinion. I use lubricating drops for the dryness in my eyes, which is a normal aging thing too. It is amazing how much less eye strain and fatigue I have if I use the drops and follow the little exercises, suggested by my doctor, while using the computer or reading. Some people say they can't afford to go to the doctor; and, I know it is difficult for many who are not insured. How can we not afford to go to the doctor, though, if we lose the quality of life that we all desire to have? I found many resources for people with visual problems on the internet and through my doctor...and on this website! Thank you...and thank the people who supported me through the uncertain time I was experiencing last year. As some of you know, it was one serious thing after another with my husband; and, there were times I thought one or the other, or both of us, were not going to be around to see (literally) 2015. (Tamara, it does take time for the "other" eye to adjust after cataract removal from the other. It took me more than two weeks. I had the lense from my "new" eye removed and replaced with a clear one while I was trying to adjust. That helped. Your doctor will tell you if it is normal or possibly something different. I wish you well. I pray you follow up and tell your doctor what is happening.)
Hi, I had a cataract surgery done for my left eye two weeks back from the See By Intravision at Oakville and I am having better vision. Now, I feel a developing vision problem in my right eye too. I feel my right eye has suddenly lost the clarity of vision it used to exhibit before. Is it due to the sudden change in vision I attained for my left eye? But after reading your blog, I guess I can relate my problem with macular degeneration. I think its better to consult my doc soon, before its too late.
My problem is blurred and double vision. I have had problems with double vision for several years, the optometrist doesn't seemed to be concerned, I haven't told him about the blurred vision.
This is great information for anyone at any age! In addition to an eyeglass prescription and glasses, aging people should go to an ophthalmologist. My husband, who is 87 this year, postponed going to the doctor as long as possible. He has a fear of doctors and waited until his vision was so bad he asked me to make him an appointment. He thought it must be a cataract. Well, glaucoma has destroyed 95% of the vision in his left eye and over 70% in his right eye. Normal pressure in the eyes is 20; his was 40! Now, I am putting eye drops in his eyes morning and evening; and, IF his remaining vision can be saved, it is going to mean surgery. The loss is permanent. It has meant a total lifestyle adjustment for us. Please, have your eyes checked periodically! A trip to the ophthalmologist sooner could have meant saving his vision and treatment with eye drops. Thank you so much for addressing these eye-related problems. I learned a lot from the article about how to care for a person whose vision is limited.
Great Info! Most old people attribute vision loss in senior citizens to the normal aging process. However, if the vision loss is due to any of the diseases as mentioned, early diagnosis may be your only protection against untimely blindness!
