Post by: petercharlesfagg on December 15, 2014, 01:13:47 PM
Friends,

Thankyou to all those enquiring about my health.

In myself I feel fine and the nedication is working extremely efficiently.

My reason for posting is because I would love to join in on the forum but I am unable to fiocus my eyyes, I have to use a magnifying glasss to see the keyboardd and pick out the letters one by one.  If I use thee glass to see the monitor I only get the matrixx.

I amm due to have a test in maid January for my eyes ssco will remain almost blind until tthen!

Please do not replu to this post, i cannot read them.

I hope you all enhoy your Xmas if you celibate it and I hope thet you have a pleasrable modelingg year, regards, peter.

Friends,

Please accept my deepest thanks for all the "Thank you's" that have been logged to this post, i just wish that my eyesight was back to normal!

Some good news!

In my bed of self-pity I forgot to think clearly.

After recommending new and other members to purchase magnifying lenses that clip on to spectacles I tried my own and they enabled me to read not only the posts but the whole internet, albeit a little distorted!!!

In daren't use them for too long at a stretch but it is passable!

I shall be able to share again, and that makes me feel much happier.

Warmest regards to all, Peter.

And also keep them in black to make it easier for him as I believe Peter is also colour blind.  The forum without you Peter just isn't the same, so welcome back.    :claphappy:

Devices such as this are used by two partially sighted friends and are very useful. They have a built in light.

glad the  opp  went  well  Peter , like 90% of normal folks you have two good eyes , however I was recently told that I have a catteract but due to the fact that i'm blind in the right eye its unlikely it will be corrected , if so it will be a hospital visit .

The out come of my posting is if you are using tools wear eye protection - AND DONT USE MUSHROOM HEADED TOOLS .

My dear friends,

I am very touched (My psychiatrist has said it for years!) by all your good wishes, I cannot express my thoughts adequately!

I will say thank you for the extra large print but it is not needed since the magnifying glasses make everything (and I MEAN everything!) at least twice as large!  (A little disconcerting at times, use your imagination!)

Thank you too for all the advice and the links, I feel sure that somewhere along the line a better solution to the eyesight problems can be found?

Warmest regards, Peter.
