Did anyone watch Lewis this week?

Hathaway was shown trying unsucessfully to put in his contact lens, he was then shown in consultation with the optician who told him he had "what we opticians call 'pointy eye'" Could this be a reference to KC? It wasn't referred to again and the optician turned out to be the baddie anyway.

It will be interesting to see if it is mentioned again should they make another series.

Hi Lesley
Yes - I saw that - and wondered too. Shame they didn't follow it up during the programme really!

Did you also watch the programme which followed about the making of Lewis? That suggested that there will indeed be a further series as they are keen to further develop the working relationship between lewis and Hathaway.

I have heard the term, but not (I think) in conjunction with KC. I think that some eyes are mor eliptical than spherical and although the cornea is perfectly normal, they can still be difficult to fit with contact lenses.

Still, I guess we all know how it feels to have to struggle to get a lens to go into the eye.

Well i'll be interested to hear what the truth of it is. My vote is no such condition as "pointy eye"

Michael

That would make sense. I was rather hoping tht one of the optometrists might have posted to settle the question for us.

Andrew

Optoms are probably worried we thing they are all baddies now
