from 9.20 am Eyes
Many people would regard sight as the most precious of all the senses but often have little idea how the eye works. Eyes are complicated pieces of machinery which pick up light patterns; these are then changed into information for our brains. So it's important to know the rudiments of basic eye care and to be aware of the things that can go wrong with our eyes. Why do most people get short-sighted in middle age? What makes a child ' squint '?
In the studio to answer your questions will be a leading eye surgeon and Dr Cyril Howell , an optician.
In the Chair Sue MacGregor Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
