Over the years I have had the privilege of looking after peoples eyecare for large chunks of time. When my good mate Con was back to see me recently, I realised that he had his first consultation with me 20 years ago to the day (almost). I looked at him and he smiled back at me with his shiny gold tooth. Con is turning 80 soon and he was 59 when he first came in to see me. Then I thought, “hold on, so I am 53 and that means I was 33 when he first came through the door!!”
A mild shudder went through me at the thought (my 19 year old daughter was not even born at that point). Then I knuckled back down to the task at hand.
