Nick, when is the second eye op scheduled?
I know that we will all be thinking of you
Ta but it's annoying only. First one was 23rd Feb. Then a 5 week ish wait till a opticions appoitment on the 29th Mar to check the result of the first one. Then book the second eye. After that. So hopefully early April. I had a choice to fit lenses that correct for closeup or distance. I went for distance so basically the right eye focuses on infinity. My thought is that I can then get lenses made to correct at any distance. Kaye had multifocus lenses done privately a few years ago and that was all a bit quicker but I don't fancy having varifocus eyes (or the 7k bill).
Can still read a screen and type. Can also just about solder through hole parts but surface mount is a problem. But tried yesterday to make up some boards for the turntable supply and tried the paste stencil I got made with the boards but never used. It was a great success having done that I can see enough to place the parts and point the hot air gun at the board. But now thinking about a oven.
Biggest annoyance of the eyes is having had to cancel the first two track days I had booked. Fingers crossed the one at Croft in April will be possible.
Biggest surprise is to discover how much of the blue end of the spectrum I had lost before.
As I say all minor issues compared to James.
