I had the cataracts before glaucoma started. We were moving from California to Texas (worst idea ever) asnd my eyes were bad but got worse we drove, the colors became different shades of baby poo! I was scared, went to an opthmalogist and he said the cataracts need to come right now! After the operations, I had beautiful color again. Then he was not sure if I had glaucoma or not. I did not like the uncertianty. Changed opthmalogists, the new one told me I definitely had glaucoma and that he probably was not making the mathematical adjustments needed by my thin optic nerve (I think that is what she said).

All he told me about the prisms was that he was told that his had a very bad prognosis. He was extremely grateful for the prisms. That was a few years before he got a tranfer to Seattle! We penpaled a while and he wrote me that they wanted to buy a house where they could afford it and were moving more east in the state. He went blind, they moved and he went on disability and his wife got a job in a big furniture store. The letters stopped, he could not write me anymore. I wonder if he could have had Retinitis Pigmentosa?
