| Just a reminder that not all sight problems have obvious symptoms. If glaucoma is found early you have a chance to slow its progress down so that you may be able to see for the rest of your life. Make sure you have that regular eye test! It is much harder to learn how to use technology and new gadgets when you can no longer or have difficulty reading the information to remind you how they work. They say it takes 10 years for people to do something about the hearing loss they may experience - don't let that be the same with sight! The earlier you face up to it and deal with it the better and the easier and more enjoyable life will be. You can always turn your hearing aids off if the sound is too annoying for a rest. Sadly you can't just switch your sight back on. |
