Yep Cantdrv55 glaucoma is bad. My mother passed away a year ago - she was 94yo.
She had glaucoma for about the last ten years of her life. It was caught relatively early but she did not go totally blind. It is caused by too much pressure within the eyeball and I believe she had ops on both eyes and later took drops. The worst was when she came out of a dark building into the bright sunlight. She had poor depth perception in those conditions. There is a hereditary risk for the offspring in terms of glaucoma but if it is your stepfather you could be okay. Regular eye check ups are essential. I am not doc or health prof but this is what I have learned from my mother.

One thing lead to another and because of her balance and eyesight she should have been using a walking stick but did not. She broke her hip a year before she died. Stubborn and proud!
