I'd rather have a needle in one than drive to the dentist I think it’s more the idea of getting jabbed in eye that makes you squirm.

Bad eyesight is in my family. My grandfather was registered blind when not much older than I am now. More on this later. My aunt has is similar to her dad and Needs regular eye injections for reasons I am too squeamish to enquire about. I promised more. My grandmother on e told my cousin and I to ask our grandfather what he had done with the blind club he was part of. They had gone on a sightseeing tour.

Eye operations were the nicest and cleanest to watch. One got used to things, and a spina bifida op including lots of drilling, and amputations were no problem. The ones that made me squirm were a day theatre operation to remove an ingrowing toe nail, and varicose strips.
