    Eyes wide open

    Nov 04, 2022 4 minutes

    I’ve been in denial about my fading eyesight for at least a decade. It started with realising that I couldn’t actually read newspaper print anymore in dim light. Then I began getting headaches and realised that hours spent editing copy in front of a screen was probably the culprit. So I got reading glasses.

    But, since then, my eyesight has got worse.

    I can’t read messages on my phone if they’re in normal-sized print. It’s getting tricky to read books in the bath (waaah) and I went to a crucial hospital appointment on the wrong day recently because I read a six as a nine (sorry over-stretched NHS).

    My children are sick of me asking them to read packets to find out what temperature the oven should be.
