During her free time, she would knit, read her kindle, garden whilst getting some fresh air, talk to her sisters on the phone-- she was always doing something.  Eyesight became worse  Six months after her birthday, it was in the summer of 2018 she started complaining a lot about her vision.

Initially, there may be no changes in our eye-sight that will have an impact on our daily living. However, as the problem develops so does the clumps of protein grow. This makes our lenses less flexible, transparent and thicker, clouding our vision to a level where reading, driving or daily activities become compromised. Wh...
