Andrew, I'll make it to 70 a year ahead of you, so I'll let you know what it's like!!! I plan to grow old 'disgracefully' like the old lady in the poem, who wears purple hats and bangs her stick along the fence for the hell of it. My ambition is to buy a new red Mini convertable to transport me and my zimmer frame in style. Will probably never be able to afford it, but you gotta have a dream!
I'm already working on the hats and shades for every occasion!

Yes, I'd like to dream too...
Like....
LONG before I'm 70, we'll live in a world which has taken combatting disability discrimination seriously.
Where we'll be able to get about even when we can't see as well as we'd like; when 99% + of the internet is accessible with no or minimal vision rather than 90%+ inaccessible; where computers all have access built in as standard and will produce speech output, Braille, large print or easy-in-the-eye colour schemes without a headache to change the settings - and above all which don't depend on being used according to a vision-based paradigm.
Where people have more nous than to keep asking "Why don't you wear glasses?" or "Haaven't the hospital done anything about it yet?"
Where people don't wave their hands about as if demonstrating something to you visually however often you tell them you can't see what you're pointing at.
Where your brain power and personality are recognised for what they are irrespective of your eyesight, rather than being assumed to be defective just because your eyesight is.
And where people have better manners than to start taking photos of strangers without checking first if they mind - let alone not popping flashbulbs without a second thought.
And and and....
SOmeone stop me before we're here all night!
