Coping with sight loss: Getting used to glaucoma

105 Hurdis Road, Shirley, Solihull, B90 2DL, UK

The author gives an account of the onset of glaucoma while he was still at work, of the medical treatments and surgical operations aimed at saving his sight, and of how he learned to accept that he would no longer be able to work and to continue with some of the pastimes and activities that had been part of his and his family's daily life. The support of the staff of his local Social Services Department is described and praised, and he shows how his ongoing rehabilitation is equipping him to cope with life during his retirement years.
