During this time one of the weird side effects I developed was sudden adult-onset central heterochromia -- that is, my eyes changed color. So strange. (These are both me. My eyes were solid dark brown until about age 28.) The color change is permanent. My vision is back to normal.

My mom has lost most of her vision due to macular degeneration, and her hearing is so-so (hearing aids help a lot).
We used to play cards a lot as a family group activity, but she can no longer see the number on the cards, even the ones with *really* large print.
