Arrrr, Lassie, ye’ll look great in yer eye patch! (Seriously, hope all goes well.)
What a fab clip. As you know I’ve had mega-problems with my eyes and there was a time a couple of years ago when I was thinking about eye patches a lot. I wish I’d had that clip then!
And you know, David Bowie’s right. It’s a look you can work.
If you call it Macular Pucker the poet might feel better?
with love and best wishes from a fellow eye doctor patient xxx
