A friend of mine's grandfather was a worker in a ship yard when
he was a younger man.

Now it seems he has his vision failing.  We are guessing it is because
of the arc welding he was around.

My question is this.. can anything help him?

It has progressed quite rapidly to the point of not being able to
read a wall clock from 10 feet or so..

The reason I suspect the arc welding is that his central vision is
dominantly effected, and the peripheral vision is not as markedly
impaired.

His grandfather is going to older docters, as he does not trust
the younger ones.  We are afraid that the maybe the older ones may
not be up on the latest available treatments..

(a debate on which is unnecessary at this point, as well as undesirable)

Please help!!

Please e-mail

Thanks in advance..
