Is it really that bad having to wear glasses?

I think it is, yes. Especially when it rains.

The consultation went well anyway.

It took around 80 minutes, they did an array of eye tests and my prescription was -1.5 and slightly worse in my left eye.

I'm booked in for the procedure on March 24th.

My personal advisor throughout the process is married to a guy called Stephen Lyons, who played for Wakefield and Hull KR back in the 70's. We got talking about it after she noticed my FC scarf

Maybe you could Chris i was -8.00 and -7.75 i now have 20/20 vision.
