A woman has paid tribute to the optician who saved her life three months before her wedding by spotting a cyst on her brain.
Hayley Davidson's optician spotted the abnormality during a routine check-up at a mobile service in Thurso in September.
The 28-year-old mother only made the appointment because her daughter Rosie, two, needed her glasses repaired.
John Shanley noticed the life-threatening swelling on her optical nerve, which could have killed her if left untreated. Mr Shanley referred Ms Davidson to her doctor urgently.
