I still can't believe my eye doc hadn't heard that one before.

My eye pressure is down from 42 to 14 in 18 months. No more floaters. It's a nuisance putting in eye drops twice a day but it's worth it.

My maternal grandfather lost one eye to glaucoma and one to cataracts in the early 50s. I was the only one of the grandkids he ever got to see. He did teach me to play chess on a braille chess set when I was 3. I would play guys blindfolded in High School. It really messed with their minds. I still have the chess set.

He was an amazing man. He graduated college before the Wright brothers flew and listened on the radio to Neil Armstrong land on the moon.
