missed my 12 monthly hospital visit to the eye clinic due to the con flu. got a pointless phone call from the specialist there asking how my eyes were. i told him that i hadn,t a clue as i have no eye chart at home or ability to check my own eyes. having glaucoma which i only found out by accident when going for new reading glasses years ago cannot be diagnosed by phone as i imagine other things cannot be.
