that must create difficulties while you are watching Yeovil Town, if the ball flies past you and you have to turn your head in a hurry to see which striker is about to press home an advantage in the opposing side's goal!

Fortunately Andrew through a combination of my cunning reading of the game and the fact that our players are too slow to do anything quickly (sorry lads if you're reading), this doesn't present a problem. :oops:

I had a similar problem wearing corneal lenses, I solved it by having glasses made up with plain glass in them which would catch the contact lens when it flipped out thus saving me a lot of pennies having to replace them each time.
I had sunglasses made up as well so I was covered whatever the weather.

It caused a few smiles when people reckoned I should be able to see as I was wearing glasses and I would point out they were my lens catchers!

Good luck with your work experience.

Lesley.
Live long and Prosper.

Well all everything went just fine at work experience- and what an experience it was! Saw many interesting things.
Should be getting my new lens this week too.
