My mother is 95 and is on her computer constantly. She also loves to read, but has lost the sight in her right eye and the left now seems to be deteriorating. The fact that she is losing her sight is SO DISTRESSING to both of us, and we're in terrible fear and pain about this situation. She has a good ophthalmologist, we visit him regularly, and she uses her prescribed eyedrops religiously. It seems clear that nothing else can be done, since she has severe glaucoma, and we know that there is no cure for this condition. Has anyone had similar experiences, and if so, what advice can you give us?
