I had the operation at Blackburn Infirmary when I was eight years old. I'd also had the plaster on the specs routine and had to make two rabbits into one whilst staring into a machine. Even though I feel mine 'wander' when I'm tired, I'm so glad that my parents elected for treatment.

I remember the teasing at school and also all the photos of me with one eye stuck in the corner.

It didn't happen to my children but I would have jumped at the chance of an operation for them if it had.
