I was born with amblyopia (lazy eye)...Got hit in both eyes numerous times with rocks, baseballs, fists, etc. growing up...Was diagnosed with glaucoma at 30 years of age..
Dr. said reason for glaucoma so early in life could have been due to the scarring in back of the eye from the trauma down through those years....Paying for it now..
Still don't wear glasses except to read books,computer screen..Never have.
Biggest disappointment was the amblyopia caused me to have around 20/200 in the lazy eye, and could not be corrected with glasses.
Disappointing because I wanted to join the U.S. Marine Corps out of high school...Wouldn't take me because of that one eye problem.. very disappointing at that time.
