Some of you will have read that I was having to all but stop posting as I'm having cataracts ops soon, the reason I've been able to post more is that I worked out that putting an eye patch over one eye I can see far better.

I'm back at the eye clinic on Monday for some reason as yet unknown the head of the clinic wants to see me.

Will update as and when.

    I’m glad your experiment worked @woodbine. I have a friend who made many small holes in sunglasses which he wears for reading, reckons it works well believe it or not. 😎

    Good luck with the appointment.

    You can do the same with your hand.  If you curl your index finger to form a very small hole, that can help to read something that would otherwise be unreadable / blurred.  I do this now and again when I haven`t got my reading glasses on me.
