Woohoo, nearly 20 years a diabetic and still no change to my eyes

Thanks everyone - reason, no idea.

From a teenager, I have always had an annual eye test, made sure I had well prescribed specs and looked after my eyes.

Having said that - just off out to have my eye exam at the optician. These damned new light bulbs, I find hard to read by at night? preferring to read in natural light

I'm with you re: everlasting light bulbs - they make our skin look orange & put a strain on our eyes...made me depressed too - I've reverted to the 'old' light bulbs
 
yes but they are now soooo hard to come by

Amazon (click link in my post) 🙂 The bulbs are quite expensive (I pay around £5) but they last for ages - current one has been in lamp for well over a year and is on a lot of the time 🙂
 
Thanks both - will try Home Bargains for now and save up to buy both lamps from Amazon

Cheers
 
Well done Hazel!
