TCB, did your last eye doctor mention the glaucoma or the cataracts? I had the impression both were a surprise, but perhaps not.
No, I have had the glaucoma for the past ten years. It was the cataracts that threw me for a loop.
Last year when I got my eyes checked, the doctor noticed that I had the beginnings of a cataract in one eye. When I went for a check-up last week, they told me that my eye pressure was good (15, whatever that means) and that the cataract was still there. He didn't say anything about it being much worse, so I assume that it'll take a while for it to be a concern.
