Well, I have glaucoma, I'm 53 and I'm going blind.  On my right eye, I am 3/4's blind because of a scar tissue build-up.  On my left eye, although I can see I have the same scar tissue building up and eventually I will be blind.  I don't know how long it will take, nor do I know if I'll be totally blind or not.

So that was my news in June, although I've been dealing with my right eye for a little over 2 years and knew that I would eventually lose sight in the left, it's just that after my eye doctor's appointments in June they made me realize that it's going to be sooner than eventually.

Well I think it was mostly the fact that they don't know how I got this scar tissue, apparently, it is caused by damage to my eyes, and I have not had any damage to either eye, so they don't know.  Not like they are going to really investigate the cause.  I believe it has to be glaucoma, I know for a fact that my diabetes has not reached my eyes yet so what else would it be?  However, I recently took myself off the road, I have a white curtain that shows up over my left eye when I drive, and usually I can blink and it'll go away but recently it didn't want to go away while I was driving back from the store which caused me to run over a curb. So I drove carefully home and decided that was the last time I would put anybody else in danger.  For the rest of the weeks I have had this white curtain over my eye, I can see but everything is blurry like looking through a sheer white curtain, it clears up after a little while but then returns a little later.

Of course, there is another reason I took myself off the road.  Everything is making me very sleepy.  Even every day over the counter Tylenol makes me sleepy.  I seem to be falling asleep every little while.  So having this partially blind right eye, blurry left eye and can't stay awake, well no more driving.
