Glaucoma: To manage my disease I need to be more informed

I was diagnosed with chronic open-angle glaucoma a few years ago. This followed cataracts and lens implants in both eyes.

My ophthalmologist has reassured me that my disease is being managed and that my sight should be fine for the future.

I'm a sixty-year-old male who realizes the importance of keeping my vision. As I move through this journey, I know I need to understand as much as I can about my eyes and how they work and about the disease that I will have for the rest of my life.

That's what this blog is about. I want to use it as a tool to sort out and retrieve information that will help me be informed and help me make good decisions about my eyes.
