Yes, mrsD, the article is quite interesting, but I only wish I didn’t have a reason to do the research.

The article says the retinal ganglion nerve cells connect the eye to the brain through the optic nerve, and speculates that damage in these cells is associated with glaucoma. I’m thinking that since demyelination as well as glaucoma can cause damage to the optic nerve, perhaps this process may also cause damage to the retinal nerve cells. But this is all just speculation on my part.

In any event, I will probably never know what caused my glaucoma, but I’m certainly going to do everything I can to slow it down.
