Hi Carla,
With my TM, I've had problems with balance ever since I recovered enough to
walk. I never let it bother me when I was a kid and growing up. I just did
what I did and kept moving on. I think my balance hasn't gotten worse, but
with age it seems like it. I'm more fearful of falling than I was before.
Not for the embarrassment of it, but for the injuries that I could
sustain.....this ol' body isn't as agile and limber as it once was. What is
it that you wanted to know about balance? What problems are you having, if
any?
As for my eyes, I have always had good vision. Never needed glasses or had
anything wrong with my eyes. Until I reached the age that everyone calls
"over 40 eyes". When I hit the age of about 43-44, I noticed I was having
difficulties reading the writing on medicine packages at the store. (I
thought the writing was getting smaller) :-) Then when I was about 46, I had
to move the TV guide into the light to read it better.........hummmmm, I knew
then it was my eyes. I have no problems with them other than just needing to
wear glasses to read. So this whole message may not have helped you at all,
regarding my eye problem.
What is it you'd like to know about eye problems, maybe someone else can help
you?

Smiles,
Kris~
