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.

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.
