What about the mid-1970s report that Elvis had glaucoma? Any truth to it?>>
From what I am assuming, it must be true that he had glaucoma because I have
read about it in several books and some of Elvis' cousins had talked to me
about it before. In fact in one book of which I can not remember the name at
this time, it even talks about how Elvis had to have a needle injected
directly into his eye at one time because of the glaucoma.. Linda Thompson was
there with him when he had it done and it must have been very painful for Elvis
to go through this because according to the story, Linda was holding his hand
when they put the needle into his eye and he squeezed her handt so hard that
she said it felt like he was going to break her hand. I am sure either Larry or
Marty will verify if this is true or not. Take Care!

there is a video on youtube a phone call in 1969 where elvis talks to Ron Pietrofeso and tells him he had glaucoma
