Whew, sorry to hear about all that. Much better to lead a healthy life, but that is not everything, unfortunately. I am careful as all get out, diet in particular, but sometimes genetics cannot be avoided. Still need Lipitor, even so, as much of a purist I am. Just a matter of doing all that can be done to beat the odds. The rest is left to the Big Guy.

It is genetic and a optician can check you for it along with glaucoma and cataracs. My father has it and has been getting injections in both eye once a month for a couple of years now. Not fun. Smoking does not help the chances of not getting it.
