I am 75 and have advanced glaucoma, will have a xen gel stent surgery tomorrow. Thank you for sharing what helps you. I have tried changing my computer to high contrast and I wish that it was even more contrast One thing I have trouble with is curbs. It really helps if the curb is painted. Often I cannot tell when to step down,

We recently got wood floors and we asked the workmen to put a contrasting stain on the edge of the stairs. It’s very helpful for identifying the stair treads. I think it looks nice too.

I understand. I'm 77 and have been fighting glaucoma for over 30 years. I am a candidate for xen-gen surgery when max eye drops no longer hold pressure down. I too have low vision now with only central vision in right eye, and lots of problems with glare. I also have high contrast white on black computer setting. I have a goose neck lamp by my computer to shine bright light on documents I have to read, and I always carry pen flashlight with me all the time.
I hope your surgery goes well!
