Enough of the nice stuff, let's get some misery in here says Ryan.

Nice bit of name dropping for Specsavers there.

Yes you really can't put a price on your health.

He's an awful nice fellow to be fair.

Exceptionally so. Really enjoyed that interview, even though I have no interest in sport!

And then on Monday this happened. And then on Tuesday this happened. And then on Wednesday this happened.

Atlantic Dawn

How possible would it be to NCT every person in the country every 2 years, basic general systems check of them lasting 15 minutes? If we can do it with cars with about 60 centres to cater for about 2 million cars why not for people?

Skid X

We should have taken guesses on what her illness would be

Well done anyone who guessed "eye tumour while heavily pregnant"

Watership Down scared the holy Jesus out of me. Didn't sleep for weeks. That black rabbit still gives me the absolute creeps.

I loved Watership Down and as a young Auto it brought on my love of animals

Tough story no doubt, but she has a very long winded style of storytelling.

tylercheribini

What the hell is this? Im lost, somebody had a baby...incredibly banal person.

BorneTobyWilde

She literally was dying to see Bobby. Crazy stuff .

Lift both legs up, like hover .

And in true Ryan Tubridy style she has 17 minutes to get it out of her. Ryan has 1.5 eyes on the clock, getting out of there and getting home.

Unless Arnie Schwarzenegger ends up having a baby in the ward beside her this is the worst anecdote ever.

Do you remember a blog called "boob.ie because they wouldn't let us use fann.ie ". Lasted about 6 months.

First Late Late in a while I fell asleep.

Was nuts woke up to cancer.

Started on the red again and feel fine.

Jaysus - that is historic - asleep - could be top 10 worse ever.

BorneTobyWilde

When something this devastating happens to you, everything goes into slow motion and you remember every blessed detail

Was I asleep for 1 guest or a week.

Atlantic Dawn

If I go under an operation I will have to write up notes on how I am in the previous world just incase I come out of it completely different.

Too Tough To Die

Thought he said the focus would be on positivity?

Quite apt the specsavers ad before this all!

BabysCoffee

Very scary to think that someone can be walking around healthy with no symptoms (until a blurry eye starts giving trouble) and have a brain tumour

Autosport

Fair play to her

leahyl

I went to school with this girl - can’t believe this happened to her, she’s been through an awful lot.

retro:electro

Poor girl. Fair play to her, she has a good attitude.

Atlantic Dawn

You sometimes feel your life is gone to sh1t with basic day to day complaints and in reality you are having a great time compared to others.

BabysCoffee

Ah gorgeous baby.

They are a lovely family

lubie76

I worked as a dispenser in Specsavers a few years ago and we would have regularly had to phone ambulances or call family to bring people straight to AandE due to what was spotted by opticians. It’s amazing what can be seen behind the eye.

YFlyer

Tubs is such a light weight.

Beaumont has a brain research unit, with the hope of solving future neurological issues. They always welcome Brain Donors, and yer family has much less funeral expenses. I’m on the register, so when I pop my clogs they can inspect the vacuum within and learn something from it.

I've often heard that Opticians are the window to your souls, as they can see better than doctors

I agree 100%.

I think the poster I quoted was taking the piss . Which is completely out of order.

mzungu

Interesting interview this.

Ol' Donie

I freaked myself out a while back.

One day i had contacts in. In the evening i went to take them out, but I couldn't get the one in my left eye out. It seemed like it wasn't there.

Do you think:

A: it fell out during the day, or

B: it had gone in behind my eye, and I couldn't get it out?

If you thought B, and also that the best course of action was to do nothing about it apart from freak yourself out about what damage it was doing to the bit that connects your eye to your brain, congratualtions, you're an imbecile like me.

Eventually I went to Specsavers, told them I needed an eye test for lenses, and hoped they'd have some way of dissolving it or something.

In the examination room, I took a deep breath and explained my enormous anxiety, hoping for at least some sympathy. Instead, I got a look that said "You're are an imbecile, I don't know whether to laugh at you or slap you upside the head." Apparently, if that happens your eye goes all sticky the next day, and you know all about it.

In the end, I just got new lenses, and happily I brought laughter and joy to my family every few weeks when someone decides to bring it up. Again.

My old next door neighbour’s life was saved by optician, he spotted the man was about to have a stroke. He got to Hospital and had surgery just in time to prevent it.

Not entirely sure if that was an interesting or appropriate interview for a prime time chat show. It was basically "How I became seriously ill in the last year".

It was more like something you'd hear as a magazine feature on morning radio.

Ah you were so brave to go through that ordeal, Donie.

I would love it if you went on the LLS to help other sufferers of lost lense trauma.

Had to switch, couldn't bare anymore, top of the pops 85 on BBC4

I went under a general anaesthetic this morning for leg operation, woke up very much myself! Modern anaesthetic are like magic, you wake up sharp and crisp and feeling very clear headed.
