Rooftopartist,

I don't think I am who you think I am. It is a little comforting to know that I'm not alone in my state of flattened cornea hell. It must be an epidemic. One day our children's children will look back on this and tell stories about how a proportion of the nation was brought to a standstill by having slightly flatter corneas. It's a problem.

I've been waiting around 6 months for this medical appointment, have been deferred twice from IOT and have now been on the Fam Visit despite still lacking a medical clearance. I can't wait to start but have to keep tempering my excitement by reminding myself that I'm still liable to be binned if it's decided that my eyes are a problem.

If anyone out there has been through this process already, whether for better or worse, I would still love to hear about it! I can't imagine what the specialist is going to do that hasn't already been tested - my eyesight is fine, my eyes are healthy, but my corneas are slightly flatter than average. So what?
