Instead of cheap glasses online - try THIS !!
Social Bookmarks: del.icio.us Digg it Furl Google ma.gnolia reddit Simpy Squidoo YahooEvery optician of a certain age will be aware of the famous technique
of eye scraping.
This process consisted of the removal of the eye, scraping the back of
it and then returning it to it’s place in the socket. Maybe this is
why we have reverted to cheap glasses these days – nobody could offer
this service online !
Now, the clever reader may say, “That is not possible”.
To which I and all of my generation would reply that we have heard of
hundreds, nay, thousands of such cases. Indeed, my own grandmother
enjoyed the benefit of this advanced technique. Some such fortunate
recipients of this beneficient treatment, (so I am informed), actually
had the luxury of having the the eye frozen while the operation took
place.
Now, the sceptical readers of this column (for there are such people)
will maintain that this is the dubious product of folk lore or mythology.
To them, I would ask, how it can be that so many people earnestly
believe that they have had this operation?
Readers views would be welcome, especially those who like me, have
had personal knowledge of this phenomenon and from the sceptics,
any information as to the origin of what they believe to be an old
wives tale would be especially well received.
To the doubters, I would say, BEWARE, my grandmother was what,
nowadays would be described as a feisty lady!
In the meantime………..if you don’t fancy such self-medication (and
that is probably a wise choice), stick to purchasing your glasses
online !

Back in eighties I took £40 from a guy in the form of a wager. We where discussing eye’s and safety goggles (this chap should have been wearing them for the job he was doing and was not. I happened to be the project manager on a major contract in the city of London (Midland Bank Group Treasury) at that time). Obviously I stopped him and told him to get the goggles and wear them as it is not optional. I then showed him the damage I sustained to my left eye from accident many years before that resulted in a perforated cornea, 4 stiches and around 1/3 of the iris incised( very, very luckey not to have lost the eye through infection. However, to cut the long storey, the chap seemed interested and was taking notice but then related to me an occasion where a friend, relation or whoever underwent eye surgery and the eye was removed from the socket and was hanging down on his cheek to enable good access to the area of the eye they needed. I told him the nature does not provide you with an elesticated optic nerve or even a coiled one like a telephone cable the only way the eye is removed is when it’s not going back and then replaced with a false one. There was insistance that this procedure did take place with his friend so I said ” Do you want to bet on it say £20″ “double it if you like because I can get hold of my friend now and he will tell you.” I told him the only way to settle this is to speak with the experts, I told him about Moorefields eye hospital and it’s famous reputation and I would ring them to get the answer and he agreed needless to say I ended up £40 better off. Sorry if this response is a tad long but I felt it worth telling.

Rather unfortunately my grandmother had a very unsightly, permanent red mark across the bridge of her nose.
When I asked her how she had come by this she told me it was because of her contant use of glasses.
Naturally I asked her if she had ever tried contact lenses.
She replied that she had done so once but had found that they didn’t hold as much beer!
