I went to see a Neurological Ophthalmologist today (friday the 31st, july).
With over a year of eye patches, pretending to see, blacked out lenses on sunglasses and missing stuff due to my feeling vulnerable because of my lack of eyesight, my problem is partially solved.
I am getting some glasses!
(this may not be that exciting to the seasoned glasses wearer).
I am excited for many reasons.
No more eye patch when I write, read, watch TV or a film.
They are called prism lenses.
They look like the bottom of two coke bottles.
I am now faced with choosing a frame.
I am going to roll with Von Zipper “Fulton”, my regular choice of sun eye wear that rarely leave my face, I have done hair on a few photo shoots for VZ, my close friend is an artist/ designer for them and he wore them for years before eye surgery, I also have a good relationship with the folks at Von Zipper Australia, besides that they look really good and are hand made very well.

I will still bust out the eye patch to keep people guessing on the odd occasion.
"Did that guy just have a patch over one eye?"
"You KNOW it!"

You cannot lose the eye patch! Small children will get upset that their hero Pirate Phil has deserted them. You need to re-think Phil. Maybe wear it on weekends?
