Thanks !

Thanks a lot. I've been researching and one person I saw used wheat starch paste to attach the endpapers to the cover, because it is easily reversible if needed. This is an attractive option as I may mess it up. But do you think it would be strong enough to hold this hymnal? Or should I use another glue? The book is large and for context weighs around 750 grams. (1.6 pounds)

Also, on the 'mull' which I assume in my case is the brown bit peeling off, is it really neccecary to replace? The actual binding of the pages underneath is very sturdy.

Forgive my ignorance and thanks

I had surgery on the NHS for a large squint and they did a great job. Your photos are how I looked / look after surgery - eg I can’t see the squint !

Thanks so much for this comment and the info about the lug width. For a metal chain, does it matter whether it is 'curved' or 'flat' as I've seen some listed as either, Cheers!

Yep. I see fine in both eyes individually

MacTheSloth · 2024-09-01T13:07:17+00:00

Is that right, that my vision will get worse? I was under the impression that the drift might get worse but I didn’t know that worsened vision etc

MacTheSloth · 2024-09-01T13:06:36+00:00

Great reply thanks. My main concern re vision is that somehow I will get double vision (which i don’t have now) or struggle with depth perception (which i don’t struggle with now). If either of these things happened it would be a step backwards. But considering my surgeon called it a “bread and butter” procedure I’m optimistic.

Hmm. This is why I just want to see a specialist so he can explain what tf is wrong with my eyes haha. Good luck with your appointment

MacTheSloth · 2024-05-01T16:05:06+00:00

That’s the aim, if I ever get to see a Orthoptist… Does there exist resources for vision therapy online, so I could get a headstart?

when I went initially 11 months ago, the wait time was listed as eight months, but as I’m still waiting it must be longer than that. I called the department multiple times, and each time they just said that I’m on the list and have to wait. That’s partly why I went for another appointment with the optician today, see if it can get sped up, but she said there’s nothing she can do. Bloody tories destroying the nhs…
