Why I turn a blind eye to visiting the hospital

It's been some years since I last had my eyes examined, mainly as I'm now totally blind and I believe there isn't any point in attending the hospital because is nothing the doctors can do to restore my eyesight. What little vision I had started to fail about the same time as the Western's eye department moved to Gartnavel Hospital. Not far in terms of distance, but as a blind person it became an endurance test in itself. I had a theory that if you could find the new location without any assistance, you had nothing wrong with your eyesight.
