any advice

McKneff

You need to grow up missus, get down offa your soap box.

You want some advice about eyesight. Here it is then.

Go and see an optician. Now, who would've thought it.

And Congratulations, you are now branded on here as a benefit basher, it will haunt you for years.

- you have had explained to you that close to 40% of the nation has an astigmatism and deals with it without drama
- you have had explained to you that a diagnosis so late in life suggests you may benefit from a second series of tests
- vicki x, its been suggested, [reasons in #3 onwards] that you go to an ophthalmologist for a second opinion

Most high street shops will be open tomorrow, find the truth of your condition, go to a different shop / optician tomorrow and find out if the diagnosis was correct. You never know it may put your mind at rest one way or the other. You have to do this yourself - no one can do it for you.

Best of luck vicki x

Not everybody who is mentally ill has taken drugs or alcohol. Mental illness is very real, and in many cases is a serious disability. Even children can have mental illness.

Instead of hurling insults or asking for medical advice, can I suggest that you do as others have suggested and make an appointment with an optician for further help.

they are not in my opinion entitled to benefits in any shape or form there are many people who have genuine disability's that they can do nothing about these people have brought it all on them selves did anyone force them to take drugs,drink eat no and if it comes across as bitter then so be it but i am fed up with people having a go at others on this site and i though if you cant beat them join them and i cannot and would not claim benefits for my eyes i have already said that several times you can not judge someone on a few lines written on a forum but you and others have all pre judged me so i though i would give my opinion on what i think of people in my opinion and thats all it is bitter or otherwise

That post is actually quite nasty. Do you ever consider that people who become disabled can't exercise to keep their weight down? Mental health is a proper illness, whether you like it or not. Many addicts have mental health problems too. And as for those who have a bad back. Seriously. I wouldn't wish illness on anyone, especially having found myself with a spinal problem, but posts like that are just plain nasty.

Any person suffering from an illness will be entitled to the appropriate benefit if they meet the criteria, it's not about a specific condition. Just google ATOS reports and you may see the hoops that sick people need to jump through to get their benefits

In my area 100% (ie every single one) of the female prostitutes being treated for heroin addiction were victims of child abuse. They had terrible childhoods. Their addiction, alcoholism and crime are all tied in with their mental health problems.
These things are never black and white.
