Astigmatism

[Larry Caldwell]

I'm fortunate to not have the cataracts yet, but regular eye exams found 
that I have glaucoma before any damage was done.  Looking into that 
revealed that I have a damaged retina in one eye that had never been 
discovered before.  So, I'm just happy to be able to see as well as I 
can, even though my vision isn't as good as I might like.
