- My husband is below 35 yrs old and has XLRS. As a result he has low vision. Although by god's grace he is doing well in his career, he has some problems that prevent him from doing better.
For example he cant see the computer screen until he is siting or standing very near to it. Thus discussions with colleagues are very difficult to handle as he cant see very well whats being talked about and has to rely on guesswork and memory to make sense of what is going on
same story in meeting rooms as projectors are used almost invariably in every meeting.he cant see the small text on the screen esp when details are being discussed although he is quite fine with power points as they hv typically very large fonts.
because of all this supervising others work and adding value in high level meetings becomes very tough for him and he almost cries to himself everyday. He has a tremendous amount of feedback to give and value to add but for lack of vision he cant do it and has to simply sit silent in the meetings so as not to expose his weakness.
I am writing this long post to
1. check if anyone has encountered such situation before and is there a way out
2. Can Trusopt drops help some one as old as him. Even if his vision improves by one line it will be v significant for him.
Currently he can read upto three lines with one eye and two lines with the other with glasses.
- They can.

- It really depends on the person. MY son is four he tried them at the age of two and they did not work. He will try the again when he is older and cna tell me if they make a difference. My cousin that is a 37 takes them and he loves them. he says he can not go eith out them. He says it clears up and helps focus. Now he is a banker in Cananda and is always infront of a computer he has to tell all his clients so that way they don't fell like he is ignoring them. I have a question for you. Did your husband drive?
