I got new glasses earlier this year, and an eye patch because of macular pucker issues. My eyesight is changing again so I’m going to try some bifocals. Computer text is especially hard on my eyes right now. Anyway, there’s a good PDF, “Your Eyes and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome” at this website. It’s by an eye Dr who has Ehlers Danlos.
A local mention of Ehlers Danlos syndrome in a story from Clarksville (of “Last Train To…” fame). Congrats graduates.
