Glaucoma

There's a minute circular drain around your eyeball.  It takes away all the rubbish from the day, with the help of some clear fluid that comes from your blood stream.  One of mine is not draining well enough, and that increases the pressure in your eyeball... and that is the start of glaucoma!     However this is not about the choice of great treatments available, or thinking about my mother who was blind for the last few years of her life with glaucoma.     This is about trying to imagine how many thousands of small drain holes in my whole body are not working well enough!!  And the daunting thought of how to find and fix them as quickly as they do with eyes!
