Are children missing out on sight-saving eye tests? The Association of Optometrists say schools should be doing more to check on the eye health of the children in their care. Karen Sparrow, education adviser at the Association debates the issue with Anita Lightstone, Director of the UK Vision Strategy. Your reaction to last week's interview with Marilee Talkington and her one-woman show that explores her congenital macular disease. And back to the issue of smart-phones for visually impaired people - a total revolution in information technology or an expensive exercise in frustration, as phone technology and our specific needs fail to keep in step.
