Glasses? Big deal - I already have a cane, am on the list for a dog. I had my eye condition picked up in a routine eye test about 16 years ago. Didn't cause me any problems then but, as predicted, I'm now losing my eyesight and will eventually go blind. But if it hadn't been picked up, I would never have gone out and got my bike license, bought the car I'd always wanted, be doing my masters degree or have my son.

My brother, who knew hat he had a 1:4 chance of having the same condition as me didn't heed the warning and get his eyes tested for 20 years. Then he started complaining of blurry vision - he wanted to see his optician, I got him in to see my consultant. guess what? And the horror is that even thought he knows about it he's still driving. I hope he doesn't have an accident.
