Look, I’m not your doctor, and I’m definitely not your mum. But if you’re over 60 and haven’t had an NHS eye test in the last two years, go book one. It’s free, it’s painless (mostly), and it could save you from falling down the stairs because you mistook a shadow for a burglar—like my Aunt Edna almost did. Plus, you’ll finally be able to identify if that thing in the garden is Mittens or a master criminal.
So what are you waiting for? Ring your local optician, tell them you’re a sprightly 60-something, and get that NHS eye test booked. Your eyes—and your dignity—will thank you. And if you see a cat that looks suspicious, just assume it’s a cat. Honestly, it’s safer for all of us.
