Scared of loss of eyesight, what can I do?

So I've recently discovered that my biological father has glaucoma. being the worry wart that I am, I've gotten worried that I may start experiencing vision loss.

What can I do to help my eyes out? I've heard carrots are good for eyesight, and I try not to sit too close to the laptop when I'm on it, and whenever I read, i make sure the room is well light. But my laptop is sometimes too bright and i need to turn it down, or i'll find myself leaning in to read.

Any advice would be welcome.

    You know what? My dad has exactly the same thing! And also I am worried about the same thing. I have to see an eye specialist about ''eye pressures'' and all that. So that is what you need to do too. I get eye drops and I wear glasses. So maybe you need the same? But you are probably less at risk at getting it than me, cos I suffer from some sort of ''missing gene'' condition. If you need any more adbice, feel free to contact me at

    When you pay attention the time period no balls, it has another that means to each and every man or woman. No balls to a couple individuals way being scared to get harm, or do some thing bodily brave. To others it way being an avoider, warding off clash, or war of words, or manipulating as an alternative of confronting. Most of my obstacle in existence has come no longer from truthfully being an avoider, however from being a shy man or woman, and being noticeable as an avoider. I do not feel individuals must discover extra guts, for the reason that no one, adding me, has guts always, everyday. I'm only a man with a foul social distrust and anguish, and a few individuals see it as worry of war of words, and as a man or women, I care what they feel greater than I faux to care approximately them.

    Regular eye exams, and be sure to tell the ophthalmologist that your dad has glaucoma.
