I just had a test and it was negative. Eyesight is indeed precious. I am up to two separate pairs of glasses now, one for driving, one for computer work. I miss the good old days of seeing up close and far away with the same clarity. Excellent advise and I'm happy for you, that your test was negative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13851134.post-33602342238723327002008-03-01T18:34:00.000+01:002008-03-01T18:34:00.000+01:00I do like the Eye pic.

And so far, I have also tested negative. Yay! I'm glad your test was negative.

In our family it seems to be more an exception not to have glaucoma, no? I've always heard since we have a history in our family that we should indeed get tested much earlier than 40 and more frequently.<BR/><BR/>But if you catch it in time and keep checking , you won't get damage I'm sure.

I was an exception to the rule that people only get it round 40. <BR/><BR/>Since then I have been taking eye drops twice a day every single day, and there is no damage so far, so it's perfectly under control. Glad they got the medication, because otherwise I would have been blind by the age of 50. <BR/><BR/>Getting tested every 6 Gudrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311096011803359014noreply@blogger.com
