Not the lottery I wanted to win: Glaucoma and macular degeneration,

[Croney]

both, which my doctor says is not that common. What a bother! Drops, shunts, more drops...

The worst thing is poor depth perception. I can read my phone with no glasses, and my "good" eye is still good enough with glasses for me to drive (soon to be reassessed), but stepping off a curb is like that scene in Beetlejuice where they open the door and the floor falls away.

I've just read that exercises to improve hand-eye coordination, like playing catch with a ball, can help depth perception. I want to be able to jog and hike!

I've been able to see for 80 years, which not everyone can say. Trying to be optimistic.
