My dad is 75, and lives in South America now. He came back to the States to visit a few months ago. He had not driven for 2 years, since his last visit. I toss him the keys to my wife's car, and goes out for a bit.
He comes back, and his face is contorted - "what's wrong dad?"
He tells me that he couldn't see. He kept thinking his glasses were dirty, but after cleaning 6 or 7 times, he realized that his vision was WAY off. I took him to the VA, and they confirmed he had cataracts AND glaucoma.
VA could not get him in for surgery before he was supposed to return to SA. When dad got back to his home, he arranged to see a local eye doctor. A few weeks later they performed surgery on both of his eyes.
For the first time since he was 12, dad can now see perfectly without wearing glasses. He had paintings that were "fading", and he now realizes the paintings are fine, it was his eyesight that had faded. He is SUPER happy with the surgery he got!
Good luck!
