So decided to have the hearing test to say up yours to grandson who insisted nan you are deaf!!

He was right I have some hearing loss so need hearing aids that are costly


I have some nice sunglasses , prescription so were costly in 2016

They cost me almost £500 so not cheap


This morning I was going to the hospital for my twice weekly pre op exercise class and it was sunny so got the sunglasses out to find one arm was adrift

Seems it's has broken off but sadly not covered by any warranties so it's new glasses

The old frame is discontinued so can't have the lenses switched over so I have to have completely new glasses but it's costing me !!!


So new ones almost £500 again

Ahhhhhggggghhhh

I echo Ann's message.

I have experienced caring staff and good appointments, noting my preferred time of day for hospital appointments, as I generally have to rely on infrequent bus service to get to the hospital.

You need a referral from your GP to start you off.
