John Dalton did not "get eye disease". He had, from birth, a vision abnormality that led to partial colour blindness -- red-green blindness. When, at the end of the 18th century, he recognised this deficiency, and wrote a scholarly paper which first described this problem, colour blindness became widely known as "daltonism".
