Eyesight
Okay well, I wasn't going to put this on the forum, but I feel the need to talk about it now.
Without meaning to labour the point, up until April when I had my mini-stroke, my eyesight was fine. In years gone by I'd had to wear glasses for long distance, being short-sighted but, as can be the case with myopia, my eyesight improved to the point where my glasses were a burden as I could see perfectly well without them, but I was told that the stroke could affect my eyesight.
Anyway, since April, I have noticed a deterioration in my eyesight, most especially at night so very soon I shall be visiting an optician because I do need glasses again.
Why haven't I done this before now? An eye test is free, but I can't afford new specs as I just don't have the money so I'm waiting for the Winter Heating Allowance to come through so that I'll be able to buy some.
Now then the question is this. If I took my old glasses to the new optician, would they fit new lenses into them for me, being a senior citizen, or would they insist on my buying new frames as well?
I know I could ask the optician this, but has anyone done this in the past?
