Personal Experience with Glaucoma
The speaker has been diagnosed with glaucoma 00:47:47. This condition has resulted in the loss of a significant portion of their peripheral vision 00:47:49. Due to this vision impairment, they are unable to drive 00:48:03. The condition has progressively worsened over the years 00:48:11.
In an effort to manage the condition, the speaker underwent surgery on both eyes 00:48:18. They describe their vision as “very dark around dark” 00:48:28. Their eyes were also sensitive to strong light 00:48:31. The speaker first became aware of their glaucoma around 2016 or 2017 00:48:52. At the time of their trip to the United States, they knew about the condition but had not yet experienced significant vision loss 00:48:58.
In addition to glaucoma, the speaker also suffers from astigmatism and myopia 00:49:01. For these conditions, the general advice given is to use eye drops 00:49:12. However, they note that their vision is not expected to improve 00:49:16. The lack of peripheral vision has led to difficulties and accidents 00:49:47. The speaker admits they “don’t see much” 00:50:31.
