Eyesight

 Probably as one becomes older health issues become more prominent in one's life.

This time for me eyesight is the issue. My eyesight was excellent until the onset of age 70+ which may better than average.  However a visit to Jimmy Fairly, opticians in Wimbledon Village was very impressive. 

The opticians took about an hour in checking my eyesight using what appeared to me to be very advanced equipment. When the eye testing session was finished  the results were thus:

Quite what the results mean is unclear to me hence there is little point in endeavouring to make the above slightly darker for ease of reading. However the helpful optician informed me that I had cataracts in one eye. She promised to send me an email detailing the problem so that I could pass this on to my GP with a view to her putting me on  list for a minor NHS  operation to eradicate the cataract.

Meanwhile she arranged for a lenses for my eyeglasses to be made in Paris. These would be then fitted in a couple of weeks, all for the princely sum of c.£120 which does not seem too bad.
