Recently, I've been having trouble reading small print, in low-light situations. I've always had perfect vision, in contrast with my dental and other issues, so it was quite a shock when an optometrist told me I needed reading glasses due to Presbyopia. The thought of aging-related vision problems was depressing enough, and I didn't want to buy those glasses they sell at CVS, so I did some research and bought a pair online that I thought looked decent, Seattle Eyeworks 812. They came with a cleaning cloth that doubles as an eye chart. Whoa, I can see things close up again! This should improve my typing accuracy on the Blackberry. Fortunately, beyond about 14" my vision is still excellent without glasses, but I'll probably eventually need prescription eyeglasses of some kind.
A phoropter head for testing eyes....brought to life with a flashgun...bringing vision down to the finest quantative level....and the beauty of science and mechanics.
You know the scene in Harry Potter when he received an avalanche of invites from Hogworts? Well, that has been me and the cards from Specsavers about an overdue eyetest.
So, along with an emergency dental appointment, I took most of Monday off, with Jools dropping me off midway between St Maggies and Dover, so I could safely walk into town, as no roads or lanes have pavements, so this being the only safe way.
I had time, so once at the cliffs, I sat on a bench and looked at the comings and goings, and a guy base-jumping off the cliff. No idea if he survived, but his partner filmed the leap.
He had a go-pro on his helmet, which made me think he was a cyclist at first, and I was going to tell him off for cycling along the cliffs.
There we no screams of despair after he jumped, so he must have survived. A Google search revealed another base jumper only just survived after his chute failed in 2018, falling to the beach in St Maggies.
I walked on, down into Langdon Hole, with clouds of Chalkhills scattering from each footfall. And there was me saying at the weekend I hadn't seen any.
Down below in the harbour, ferries came and went, and line of cars and motorhomes lined up to check in and board. No queues for freight.
And to the north, a small cruise ships approaches the harbour to dock at the cruise terminal and load up with a fresh set of passengers.
I reach the end of the Cliff Road and climb the path towards the NT building, then turn left along the path before taking the steep path down towards Eastcliff and Athol Terrace.
It is easier going down.
Just.
Under Jubilee Way and out of what little breeze there was, it was hot. I had 45 minutes to get to the opticians.
I walked along Eastcliff, past the multi-coloured houses cowering under the cliffs, along Townwall Street before cutting through the St James Development. I can report that the site of the old leisure centre looks like it is going to be another car park.
As is the site of the old Co-Op, which was the site of an indoor craft market, but that too now has been razed and looked like being a car park too.
The car parks we already have are not full, as the council lets stuff being built in Whitfield.
Tilly had an eye test this afternoon , Its part of her regular health care
This time she needs glasses she has done really wel to get to aged 11 and abit and not need glasses, She is long sighted in her left eye
we picked some very pretty pink bendy frames and her glasses will be ready before she starts her new school on Friday
Screening and Diagnosis are crucial in the process of identifying eye conditions before it is too late.

I walk down Castle Street, then along Biggen Street to the optician, where they get me in early.
And then the blinding machine broke, and it took half an hour to fix, by which time my slot had closed.
Can you come back another time?
Whaaa?
I now had two hours to kill before my dental appointment, so I went for lunch, had a cheese toastie at a place looking out onto the Market Square, where they have repaved it, taken down the large TV stand, the TV went years ago, and the fountain. We will now have large silver hoops.

I went for an eye test today and also got an OCT eye scan. I was hoping it would be more interesting. But I guess I'll have to be happy that I have healthy eyes.

No air-conditioned luxury offices here. The examination room sits in the middle of the street entrance.
16 mm purple pupil-less eyes. The flower is my revenge because with the eye switching she lost an eyelash, and then her head popped off.
As Chinese doesn't have an alphabet, and reading small characters from a distance is not that easy, these symbols are used for eye tests. One just have to say up, down, left or right. So the top five would be up, left, down, up and right. How far down can you get?
Orbis's every day work is to eliminate avoidable blindness around the world and also to raise awareness about the importance of eye health.
Optician Van Bael wanted to attract clients he hadn't seen in a long time. To explain them that due to deteriorating eye sight over the years, they would probably be needing new eye glasses at that point, we created an e-mail in the form of an eye test chart.
