Usually the left eye is the one which goes first. But it was good while it lasted. (47 years, thats great)

Ask the doc to check closely. You dont want to exert too much on the left one.

Stop reading in dim light, and watching movies in the dark.

And avoid wearing sunglasses/goggles in glaring sunlight...removing them after getting to a destination can affect the eyes. Shades are good, as long as they arent too dark.

Eat a lot more of green stuff - spinach. Even carrots, beets and radishes. Thats good for eyes, and vision.

And, oh yes, welcome to the world of glasses and contacts. :)
