Thanks, Duncan.
I don't think that it's cataracts because my eyes have been rigorously checked over the past couple of years for 'other things' i.e a large 'floater' that might have indicated a detached retina, something referred to as 'narrow-angles' and flashing jagged lines which we suspect were associated with hyponatremia. None of the opticians, including those at the hospital, mentioned that they'd seen evidence of cataracts. I will certainly ask the question, however, next time I get my eyes checked.
ISTR that, during o level biology some 60 years ago, it was mentioned that as your eyes get older, they can change shape such that your distance vision can improve ........ but your 'reading' vision deteriorates. I daresay in the near future, I will be able to drive to the supermarket without glasses ..... but won't be able to read any of the labels when I get there!
