Re: Driving at Night
That's a good one Gareth, and well done Nick for starting it off. And you probably have noticed that the muntjac population in Berkshire / Oxfordshire has surged alarmingly. Drive down the A34 and you'll see dead deer just about every day. And also since that thread we have the ongoing problem of SU...

Re: Driving at Night
One advantage of the cataract operation is that you can get partial correction (I use my computer now without glasses but still need them for driving) and once you have both eyes done, eyesight is pretty stable. Being an Old Person I am entitled (and use) annual checkups but it's a bit of a formalit...
