Arvo, Toots. Home from the second eye specialist down in Brisbane today. Step 1: dear optometrist, why are my less than 1 year old, very expensive multifocal glasses not working? "Oooh, that's odd ... " (I hate hearing that phrase, don't you?) Right, above my pay grade, I'm sending you to the Eye Institute in Brisbane. Step 2: 1st Eye Specialist: "Hmmmm yes. You have [ahem!] going wrong. I'd like you to come back and see my colleague. Step 3: (today) 2nd Eye Specialist: (appointment delayed, was meant to be a fortnight after 1st, ended up being 3 months later.) "Ah, you have moved from [ahem!] to [level ahem ahem!]! Here are handouts on why, and the scans up on big screens, so you can see how much worse it has become in between appointments. So here's what we can and can't do, and possible risks. But we need to monitor this. So long story short: yeah I'm going blind but at least I know? Ok. And we're breathing ... And you never know what new technology might bring.
