Do your vision changes signal an eye disorder? Aug 17, 2023 | By Marie Suszynski, Writer (@mariemayohecs)Comment receiving replies
It can always go back to getting worse but I am having a vacation from eye drops except for dry eyes for my right eye. I must say that you beat me on the floaters. I didn't know what they were in college and went to the optometry school. They told me that for a 20 year old you have eyes of an 80 year old! I did not ask for glasses until the 4th grade. Had cataracts, have you had them yet? I was estatic for one whole month! When they removed them, they put in a permanent lens to bring my eyes up to normal. I remember looking colors with new eyes, before everything was a yucky baby poo colot. After the month was over, back to becoming more nearsughted. With glaucoma, you see with blurriness and have more blind spots.
I had a friend at work who had visible prism in his eyeglasses, I drove him to work, now my eyes are too bad for driving but I can read!! Not tiny print but if I can find it big enough print. My friend's wife told me that he went blind and had to go on disability. He used to be able to write to me and not any more.

yes, I have cataracts now. Have had since 20014, that we know of. Luckily, they have not been in my field of vision until lately. I live in Seattle with lots of public transportation and I live with my daughter, she helps for the very few times I need a ride elsewise. It keeps me "independent." I've been told the glaucoma needs to be solved/repaired before they can take the cataracts out. Also, my second ins company waits until it is progressed to a certain point. What's this about "everything was yucky baby poo color" a month after your cataracts came out? And you lost vision, again, too? What was the reason for that? Hey, if you have glaucoma and its giving you new blurriness and blind spots then it's not being treated well enough. Find you a new Opthamologist. Skip caring about their feelings, it's your eyes! Thank God you can still read. Really. I am glad you still have that. If your friend had such serious prisms, something else was going on. When is his surgery to correct such bad double vision? I fight for my care. He should too. Like why? Prisms that show need an explanation.
